iPalpiti Festival 2023
Presents
Trio Zadic
After 25 seasons of local and international accolades, and, naming the festival “…one of the highlights — in some years, THE highlight — of the summer here,” iPalpiti festival transitions into biennial production.
It will allow the organization to focus on grants and awards to the artists, catalog and digitize massive historical recordings and materials, and also allow iPalpiti’s Maestro, Eduard Schmieder, to take on other summer engagements.
In this 26th summer season, we bring you the interim “mini-festival” featuring Trio Zadig from Paris in concerts and events in Beverly Hills and beyond from July 17-23. The Trio, with a blessing from the legendary founder of the Beaux Art Trio, Menahem Pressler, is poised to become THE TRIO of its generation.

Concert in the Mansion | Orpheus: HOMMAGE A SAINT-SAËNS
With the 2021 premiere of their new album ORPHEUS, The Zadig Trio marked the centenary of Camille Saint-Saëns’s death to admire two essential facets of his work: composition and transcription. Saint-Saëns’ arrangements of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s Pièces de clavecin en concerts 1 and 5 and Franz Liszt’s Orpheus frame his own Trio for piano, violin, and cello in E minor op. 92.

“This program gives us the impression of traveling through time and space, between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries…It is a chance to discover or rediscover the compositional skills, sense of form and dialogue, thematic inventiveness, and rich harmonies of Saint-Saëns. True to its penchant for seldom-frequented repertory, Trio Zadig, imitating the Voltairean hero from whom it takes its name, continues its adventure in the world of chamber music.”
