Although the Sitkovetsky Trio is currently working on its highly acclaimed cycle of all of Beethoven's trio works, it is taking a completely different musical approach to its festival concert in Heidelberg. In spring 2022, the world was shaken by the news of the Butsha massacre. The Ukrainian composer Lena Sierova pauses and commemorates the cruel deaths with a piano trio. One of Dmitri Shostakovich's most poignant pieces of funeral music is undoubtedly his second Piano Trio in E minor from 1944, which he dedicated to the memory of his friend and musicologist Ivan Sollertinsky and in which the pain of war always resonates. But hope triumphs over suffering in the cantabile Andante of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's Piano Trio in D minor at the latest.
