Speakers: Oliver Schnyder & Benjamin Nyffenegger, Oliver Schnyder Trio
Moderator: Prof. Daniel Chua, Department of Music, HKU

The Oliver Schnyder Trio was scheduled to perform Beethoven's 'Gassenhauer', 'Ghost', and 'Archduke' piano trios in the HKU MUSE series this Fall. While we are trying hard to reschedule the concert, Prof. Daniel Chua has invited the Trio's pianist Oliver Schnyder and cellist Benjamin Nyffenegger to have a conversation online. Speaking from a lush garden in Switzerland, the two artists talked about their projects during the pandemic, how their personalities shape the group's dynamics, the unique beauty composers reveal through the piano trio repertoire, as well as their experience in presenting these musical gems.

A podcast version of this dialogue is available on various platforms and an accompanying playlist featuring the music discussed is available on Spotify.

奧利佛許奈德三重奏原定於本月中訪港，到香港大學為大家演奏《街頭之歌》﹑《幽靈》以及《大公》，但音樂會無奈受疫情影響而取消。我們正嘗試安排音樂會順延舉行﹐同時也很高興邀請到其中兩位團員，鋼琴家許奈德和大提琴手納芬尼格，透過視像與蔡寬量教授對話，闡釋鋼琴三重奏作品獨有的美學，分享他們的演奏心得，並暢談成員間合作的默契和趣事。
