The musician and composer Antonio Angelo Miari was born on 13 June 1778 in Belluno. His large output of almost completely unpublished sacred and secular music includes particularly interesting chamber music, especially the compositions for string quartet and the four piano trios. Miari was, in fact, one of the few Italian composers who was writing chamber music in a historical period when the focus was almost exclusively on opera. To mark the 230th anniversary of his birth, a performance will be given of his Trio no. 2 in F major, thought to have been composed
when Miari was living in Venice from 1816 to 1830.
The original manuscript is conserved in the Miari Archives in the Civic Library, Belluno, and is part of a donation
made in 2004 by the Duchess Bianca Miari.

This will be the world premiere of the trio in modern times.
