 演出曲目

《第一号钢琴三重奏》

这是作者1980年到北美留学后创作的第一部作品。对故土的怀念和对身材国外全然不同环境的感受，新接触到的西方现代音乐与作者固有的中华文化传统，都在此作品中互相撞击，留下了深深的痕迹。西方文化的环境并没有改变作者的面貌，其中国风格反而被提升到新的层次。作者把此作题献给他的加拿大挚友傅瑞哲和麦慨兰(作家)，并于1981年夏亲自演奏钢琴部份，与张力科（大提琴）傅小红(小提琴)在多伦多首演了全曲。后来国内外的多次演奏，浓郁的中国风格，真挚的情感，深沉委婉的旋律，有力又富有戏剧性的乐曲结构，使该三重奏获得了听众热烈的欢迎。针对西方现代乐坛以“计算”代替写作的风气，多伦多环球邮报权威乐评热情地肯定说：“黄的音乐乃是自心田涌出。”加拿大《音乐》杂志更指出：“(这是)一个音乐的新时代。” 此三重奏曾由音乐出版社于20世纪80年代出版，这次收入“百年典藏”中乃是作者籍此全曲修订过的全新版本。乐曲分三个乐章，用传统的奏鸣曲体写成。

《Piano Trio No. 1, Op. 30 -Dedicated to Elizabeth Mac Callun and John Fraser》

This was the 1st composition An-lun Huang composed as he had been in the North America to continue his education since 1980. In this work, the homesick with the feeling of the new environment, the Chinese tradition he kept with the brand new experience of the Western modern music he learned, they all impacted together here and left some deep traces. Nevertheless, the character of Huang's music was not changed by the Western culture; on the contrary, his Chinese style has been raised up to a new level. He dedicated this trio to his close friends, the Canadian Authors John Fraser and Elizabeth MacCallum. As the pianist, he premiered this new work with cellist Li-ke Chang and violinist Xiao-hong Fu, the musicians of the Montreal Symphony, in Toronto the summer of 1981. In a short time, this trio has been wildly performed and warmly received because of its rich Chinese style, sincere emotion, strong and dramatic structure, deep and beautiful melody. To counter the tendency of the "total serialism" of the Western contemporary music, the critic of the "Toronto Globe and Mail" (the major newspaper of the city) wrote enthusiastically: "Huang's music from the heart." And the major music magazine, "Canadian Music", strongly pointed out that "(Huang's music) opens A NEW ERA!" The People's Music has published this trio in the 80's. As one of the Chinese master pieces of the past 100 years, it has been selected by a major state music publishing program in China, 2013. This piano trio, in three movements, is structured in a traditional sonata format.

《第二号钢琴三重奏》（世界首演）

黄安伦的第二号钢琴三重奏完稿于2014年春，完成后献给了他的妻子欧阳瑞丽。在此次音乐会上，小提琴家黄滨、大提琴家苏来曼、钢琴家周宇博将进行这部作品的世界首演。

《Piano Trio No. 2 in B Major, Op. 83 -Dedicated to My Dear Wife》(World Premier)
