Beethoven: The Archduke Piano Trio Op.97

Step into a world where tradition meets transformation. Orenda—a unique

ensemble with Michael Howell on Flute, Alix Hamilton on Viola, and Adam

Pinto on Piano—invites you to experience Beethoven’s Archduke Trio as

you've never heard it before.

Originally composed in 1811 for the patron and pianist Archduke Rudolph of

Austria, this luminous work was one of Beethoven’s final chamber pieces

before total deafness overtook him. Now, centuries later, Orenda offers a fresh

perspective, illuminating its grandeur and intimacy through a vibrant new

timbral palette.

With the soaring voice of the flute replacing the violin, and the warm, mellow

hues of the viola, this performance reveals unexpected textures and renewed

lyricism—breathing new life into a timeless masterpiece
