Hailed as “entrancing” (BBC Music Magazine) the Merz Trio (Brigid Coleridge – violin, Julia Yang – cello, Amy Yang – piano) opens the 2024-25 Newport Classical Chamber Series in an exploration of melody sung into and for the night. Beginning with the 12th-century chants spun by Hildegard von Bingen in her solitary monastic cell, the piano trio weaves together a musical conversation that joins the voices of Henry Purcell, Robert Schumann, Alma Mahler, Johannes Brahms, and Alexander von Zemlinsky in works large and small, and brings audiences into the twentieth century with Thelonious Monk’s poignantly lonely ode to a dark hour, ‘Round Midnight.
