Midday classical concert: Slavic Romanticism

In this afternoon dedicated to Slavic Romanticism, Trio Sol performs one of the great chamber works of the 19th century: the Piano Trio in G minor, Op. 15 by Bedřich Smetana.

Formed in 2025, Trio Sol has quickly established itself as a promising young chamber ensemble. The trio has worked with Thomas Dieltjens and Guy Danel at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and participated in masterclasses with leading musicians including Josef Klusoň.

The ensemble made its debut at the Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels with Debussy’s Piano Trio.
