CLIVE O'CONNELL

WHO Trio Anima MundiWHEN Tomorrow at 2pmWHERE St Michael's Uniting Church, Collins StreetTICKETS $30/$15; info@trioanimamundi.comTHIS year, the local Trio Anima Mundi €” Rochelle Bryson on violin, Miranda Brockman on cello, Kenji Fujimura on piano €” is presenting typically adventurous programs, each featuring music by a composer who won the prestigious Prix de Rome, awarded annually from 1803 to 1968, enabling composers of French nationality to work and study for a number of years in the Italian capital.So far, the ensemble has revived works by the forgotten Max d'Ollone and the little-known Theodore Dubois, but tomorrow's recital features a composition by the 18-year-old Claude Debussy, his G minor Trio: unpublished until 1980 and now enjoying significant exposure as an addition to the French master's meagre store of chamber music. The artists also perform Beethoven's E flat Trio Op. 1 No. 1, and the first G minor opus by Hermann Goetz, one of George Bernard Shaw's favourite composers. All proceeds go to the Melbourne-based organisation Kids Under Cover.
