Trio and Accordionist Give Two World Premieres

“Amidst the curated collections of rare books and fine art in the Redwood Library and Athenæum, Sunday afternoon patrons of Newport Classical assembled to hear a rarefied mélange of sounds emanating from oboe, bassoon, piano, and accordion provided the Poulenc Trio and accordionist and composer Hanzhi Wang. The Poulenc Trio ― Aleh Remezau, oboe, Bryan Young bassoon, and Irina Kaplan Lande, piano ― opened with Rossini’s delightful Fantaisie Concertante on themes from L’Italiana in Algeri from a 19th–century collection of arrangements made to show off students and faculty at the Paris Conservatoire.”
