Embarking on their first national tour, the Trio premiere a new work from Musica Viva Australia FutureMaker, Matt Laing, a composer of great virtuosity and originality. Other highlights include Arno Babajanian’s thrilling trio, and either Dvořák’s intoxicating ‘Dumky’, or Brahm’s gloriously passionate Trio No. 1, depending on which city you’re in.
