Both lived and worked in Vienna, that glorious city which was beloved of so many artists and musicians. Our two trios were written by very youthful composers (Schubert was only 19 and Beethoven was 24), who rose to become two of the world’s greatest composers. Such works would have been performed in small, private spaces, so it is apt that our musicians recorded this concert in a relatively intimate setting, and one whose décor reflected the age. 3 from 1794, which would have been in musicians’ repertoire in 1816. We also offer you a virtual performance of Ludwig van Beethoven’s String Trio in E-flat major. 471, composed in 1816, the same year on which the reconstruction of the Fort is based.

They will transport us into the very period of the music as they play Franz Schubert’s String Trio in B- flat major, D. We leave behind the world of musical Romanticism for now and invite you to enter into the gracious atmosphere of Classic-era Vienna as Katie Stevens, Patrick Horn, and Peter Cosbey delight us with a concert recorded in the splendid Great Hall of Fort William Historical Park.
