Join the Oceanus Trio for an evening of exquisite chamber music. From France with Franz brings together the works of Gabriel Fauré and Franz Schubert, spanning the dawn and dusk of the Romantic period.

Anchoring the program are Schubert’s Piano Trio in B-flat Major and Fauré’s Piano Trio in D Minor, two contrasting works that beautifully complement each other. Schubert’s harmonic clarity and structural finesse provide a striking contrast to Fauré’s expressive lyricism and uniquely colorful harmonies.

Fauré (1845-1924), was born while Chopin was still composing, and he lived to see the emergence of jazz and atonal music. Though less widely celebrated than Schubert, his music—quirky, elegant, and irresistibly charming—deserves more recognition. Featuring other exquisite miniatures such as his Romance for piano and Violin and Papillon, this program hopes to highlight his distinctive voice.

Join us for a captivating evening where classical elegance meets the poetic fluidity of late Romanticism and early 20th-century harmonies. Whether you’re drawn to Schubert’s radiant craftsmanship or Fauré’s dreamy, intimate soundscapes, From France with Franz offers a journey through time and styles.
