Trio Speranza Makes Michigan Festival Of Sacred Music Debut

Dan Nichols

 Trio Speranza made its Kalamazoo debut at the Michigan Festival of Sacred Music on Saturday, November 8th. The recipients of the Presentation Prize at Early Music America Baroque Performance Competition 2014, the members - Ann Griffis, violin; Cora Swenson Lee, cello; and Jason Moy, harpsichord - formed the group in 2013. 

In an interview with Cara Lieurance, harpsichordist Jason Moy explains that studying the musical treasures of the Baroque era can consume a lifetime. They discuss how a Baroque trio differs from the modern piano trio, and the definition of "trio sonata." 

Cara Lieurance is the local host of NPR's All Things Considered on 1021 WMUK and covers local arts & culture on Let's Hear It on 89.9 Classical WMUK weekday mornings at 10 - 11 am.
