A chamber music evening between transience and glowing presence

On September 24, 2026, the Van Baerle Trio together with Niko Friedrich will present a program at Schloss Kapfenburg that spans from Schumann's canonical rigor to Lili Boulanger's delicate sound language to Messiaen's existential vastness. The evening is designed as a journey around time, finiteness, and hope, combining great chamber music with an intense live atmosphere. The concert begins at 19:30 in the Accelerando series.

An ensemble with an international profile

The Van Baerle Trio is one of the most distinctive piano trios in Europe. The ensemble was founded in 2004 and has established a firm place in the chamber music scene through competition successes, celebrated concert performances, and highly regarded recordings. The trio's website highlights the close collaboration and concentrated musical identity, while the press attests a touching, high-quality aura to the ensemble.

Messiaen as the center of the evening

In the second part, the trio will become a quartet: Together with the clarinetist Nikolaus Friedrich, the musicians will interpret Olivier Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time. The work was created during World War II in a prisoner of war camp and is one of the most impressive compositions of the 20th century. It is exactly this tension between historical gravity and spiritual openness that shapes the concert experience at Schloss Kapfenburg.
