BERNER KLAVIERTRIO
A Proven Tradition – the renowned Berner Klaviertrio invites you to the 2025 opening concert at the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern. With a refreshed lineup successfully introduced last year, the trio continues to uphold and amplify Bern's classical chamber music heritage on both national and international stages. Mutual trust, a deep passion for music, and boundless shared drive characterize the members of this ensemble.
A Swiss commission and musical dialogues spanning three continents promise an exciting festival debut. Charles Ives and Mikhail Glinka... does this combination work? Even if modern perspectives suggest otherwise, art offers its own solutions. The Swiss composer and lawyer Rico Gubler is the arbitrator, and his work will be premiered in 2025 at the Zentrum Paul Klee by the Berner Klaviertrio.
