Don’t let the name Warhol Dervish blow you off track. Rather than a journey into something pop-culturally twisted, this violin-viola-piano trio promises some good, old-fashioned musicianship applied to fine chamber music at Gallery 345 tonight.
The Montreal-based trio — violist Pemi Paull, violinist John Corban and pianist Katelyn Clarke (best known for being a fine harpsichord player) — puts its twist on the main trio pieces it has chosen (both written in E-flat major — a coincidence?), replacing the clarinet with violin in Mozart’s “Kegelstatt” Trio, K. 498, and substituting viola for French horn in Brahms’ Horn Trio (which is what the recent piano-solo Albumblatt discovery is related to).
Among the more modern works on the bill are the virtuosic and playful violin-viola Madrigals by Bohuslav Martinu.
