Enchanting Concert by the Coriolis Trio at Maison Jésus-Marie

Coriolis Trio

Concert presentations at Maison Jésus-Marie (MJM) continue in the tradition of providing a platform for both emerging artists and renowned musicians. MJM welcomed the Coriolis Trio for a concert of piano, violin and cello.

As Sr. Suzanne Brault so aptly remarked during the presentation to the SNJM Sisters and guests, it’s “a privilege to welcome renowned musicians” who have performed on international stages in several countries. Each is pursuing a career as a soloist or chamber musician, and has won a number of prestigious awards.

Under the theme “Aspiration and inspiration,” the three musicians—Tomoko Inui (piano), Frédéric Bednarz (violin) and Julie Dessureault (cello)—performed two major pieces from the musical repertoire. The first was Dmitri Shostakovich’s Trio No. 1 for violin, cello and piano in C minor, Op. 8. This early work by the Russian composer was first performed in 1925.

The second is Schubert’s Trio nᵒ 2, also known as the Trio in E-flat major for piano and strings. This is a romantic lyrical chamber music piece in four movements, for violin, cello, and piano. It was composed in 1827 by Austrian composer Franz Schubert.

Following the musicians’ performance, Sr. Suzanne thanked them warmly. “Your talent and passion have moved our hearts and touched our souls… Your sublime interpretations transported us to a world of beauty.”

A wonderful musical moment for all present, who are already looking forward to the next event!
