  • Postponed POSTPONED: Musical Salon Series: Romanticism & Musical Poetry

    Rough Point Museum 680 Bellevue Avenue, Newport, RI, United States

    We are excited to partner with Puddingstone Festival on an evening of music at Rough Point! Our founder Doris Duke was a supporter of the arts, as well as a musician, a dancer, and an art collector. We are delighted to host this evening celebrating the performing arts in her home.

    On January 27, three piano trios spanning the breadth of the Romantic era will perform at Rough Point: Beethoven’s “Ghost” Trio (Op. 70 No. 1), renowned for its haunting Largo movement that evokes a spectral mystery—a nickname coined in the 19th century to capture its otherworldly atmosphere; Cécile Chaminade’s Piano Trio No. 2 (Op. 34), a lyrical gem from a pioneering woman composer of the late 19th century; and Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 1 (Op. 8), a single-movement “Poème” composed at age 19, unfolding with poignant poetic introspection.
