Piano Trio in G Minor, Op. 15
by Bedrich Smetana
Tristan Lehnert, violin
Angela Maleh, cello
Daphne Spottiswoode, piano
Bedrich Smetana is known today mainly for his orchestral tone poems. He wrote only three pieces of chamber music, each chronicling a particularly difficult period in his life. The G Minor Piano Trio is dedicated to Fritzi, the Smetanas' five-year old who had recently succumbed to scarlet fever, the third of their daughters to die in childhood. The opening soliloquy is fierce, indeed, and there follow a mosaic of moods. At the end, one realizes that over the span of three movements it is remembrances of tenderness and joy have won out over anguish and despair. It is one of Smetana's best pieces and deserves to be heard more often on chamber music concerts.
This program concludes our 10th season! It all started in January, 1998 with an informal at St. Andrew By-the-Sea Methodist Church. Encouraged by the warm reception, we then inaugurated a series at the Hilton Head Public Library. And at the suggestion of friends, we began to repeat our performances in homes for small, invited audiences.
These past 10 years we have engaged 28 area musicians to prepare 46 programs, which were then performed in 140 concerts, thus making excellent use of 6 Hilton Head public venues, 12 private homes .. requiring our Steinway baby grand to be transported on 38 round trips with nary a scratch! 
What does our future hold? Well, we are thrilled to have been invited to perform at All Saints Episcopal Church, and we expect to continue there next season on Monday evenings. Likewise, Sunday afternoon and Tuesday evening house concerts are comfortably situated, although occasionally we would benefit from an additional placeIsland or even off-Island home with a nice piano. How about a Bluffton series on Sunday evenings? Our musicians are keen on the idea, but it turns out that suitable public venues - churches and the like - are not so plentiful as one might imagine. If a location occurs to you, we'd love to hear about it.
We are so grateful that the ensemble is supported by local businesses, by grants to 501(c)3 arts organizations like ours, and by an incredibly generous core group of patrons. But most of all CMHH thrives on your attendance and appreciation.
