A Program of Firsts - Peter Roennfeldt and Friends

Romantic chamber music with the Streicher piano

Saturday 16 August 2025 at 6pm

Ian Hanger Recital Hall Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University 140 Grey Street South Bank
Tickets: A Program of Firsts - QTIX

Mendelssohn Trio in C minor for violin, viola, piano (1820)
Gade Piano Trio in Bb for violin, cello, piano (1839)
Schumann Piano Quintet in Eb Op.44 (1842)

Pianist Peter Roennfeldt is joined by violinists Margaret Connolly and Wayne Brennan, violist Nicholas Tomkin and cellist Daniel Curro for another special ensemble program.

The historic Streicher piano (1843) is the ideal medium for romantic era repertoire for piano and strings. Each piece is a ‘first’, either as the composer’s debut in chamber music – trios by Mendelssohn and Gade, or as a precedent in creating a new instrumental combination – the Piano Quintet by Schumann.

This is a rare chance to hear a well-known masterwork and two rarities, all featuring the richly luminous sound of the Streicher piano.
