Trio E. T. A.

The trio E. T. A., founded in Hamburg in 2019, honors the versatile artist E. T. A. Hoffmann with its name. The ensemble began its musical collaboration with a romantic repertoire and feels inspired by Hoffmann's artistic versatility. In 2021, the trio was awarded the Prize of the German Music Competition, the Special Prize of the Rotary Club Bonn, and the Prize of the Friends of Young Musicians in Germany. Since then, it has been supported by concert promotions and is a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation.

The concert program is entirely focused on the key of F and brings together works from three different eras:
- Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach presents the empfindsamer style in his F major composition as a contrast to the baroque strictness—an expression of individual emotion that was new in the 18th century.
- Robert Schumann unfolds romantic depth and melodic inventiveness in his second piano trio.
- Antonín Dvořák combines great passion, dramatic contrasts, and Bohemian spirit in his F minor Trio Op. 65.

An evening for lovers of refined chamber music featuring:
- Elene Meipariani – Violin
- Nadja Reich – Cello
- Till Hoffmann – Piano

The Jakobikirche in Lippstadt, a Gothic hall church from the 13th century, provides the ideal setting for this concert with its impressive architecture.
