On November 10, the Stadler Trio will present an eclectic program of trioand duo music by composers ranging from Beethoven to Arvo Pärt. Cynthia and Tom Stauffer (piano and cello), with Bruce Belton (clarinet), will play selections including a lyrical sonata for clarinet and piano by British composer James Rae: Sonata in G minor, written for clarinet virtuoso James Campbell in 2014.

Tom and Cynthia will perform the Rhapsody for Cello and Piano by Hungarian composer Rezsõ Sugár, a pupil of Zoltán Kodály at the Budapest Academy of Music.

The trio will take on Beethoven’s popular Opus 11 Trio composed in 1797, one of a series of early chamber works, many with woodwind instruments because of their popularity and novelty at the time. 

Bruce and Tom will interpret “Ludus Minor,” a duo for clarinet and cello by Paul Hindemith. This short five-movement duet for clarinet and cello comprising three fugues and two interludes was written to be played by Hindemith and his wife, an amateur cellist. The manuscript has no expression or dynamic markings, so all interpretations are open to the performers.

The trio will perform Arvo Pärt's Mozart Adagio, composed in 1992 in memory of Oleg Kagan, one of Russia's leading violinists. The program will end with a delightful trio by Italian film composer Nino Rota.
