In this program, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival presents a Baroque trio sonata meant to lull a king to slumber, and a huge Romantic piano trio written in memory of a great composer. We’ll hear selections from Trios pour le coucher du roi, music Lully wrote in 1679, for chamber musicians to play while Louis XIV prepared for bed. The hour concludes with Rachmaninoff’s Trio élégiaque in D Minor, a beautiful and haunting youthful work which memorializes Rachmaninoff’s mentor and friend, Tchaikovsky.
