Geneva Lewis, Jay Campbell & Yura Lee

In early 2024, three dazzling young string players formed a new trio, which makes its Gardner debut this season. Their program is rooted in Mozart’s landmark Divertimento, which numbers among his greatest works in any medium. Sibelius’s astonishing single-movement trio is almost completely unknown. It shows the composer at his most audacious and haunting. English composer Helen Grime, who wrote a work for the opening season of Calderwood Hall, was inspired by the American assemblage artist Joseph Cornell. The new trio by John Zorn—himself a fan of Joseph Cornell’s art—was commissioned by the Gardner for this program. It is a virtuosic tone-poem after Hamlet.
