Doors/Bar Open at 6:30 PM • Performance begins at 7:00 PM
Description: A program of piano trios exploring unexpected sonorities—prepared and extended techniques and unconventional timbres—juxtaposed with Maurice Ravel’s Piano Trio. Works by Katherine Balch, Pascal Le Boeuf, and Shawn Okpebholo’s City Beautiful move from experimental, industrial‑inflected sound worlds into Ravel’s trio, which bridges late‑Romantic warmth and early‑modern experimentation—lyricism and lush harmony alongside novel textures.
