Merz Trio

violin, cello, piano

Join Merz Trio as we search for song in night’s darknesses. Beginning with the 12th century chants spun by Hildegard von Bingen in her solitary monastic cell, we explore melody sung into and for the night, weaving together a musical conversation that joins the voices of Purcell, Schumann, Alma Mahler, Brahms, and Zemlinsky in works large and small, and brings us right into the twentieth century with Thelonious Monk’s poignantly lonely ode to a dark hour, ‘Round Midnight.
