Inspired by Merz Trios 2021 debut album INK, Ink Spills offers a unique and personal account of Ravels Piano Trio, a work he finished penning in 1914 at a time of immense catastrophe and change for Europe and the world. Ranging from the court of Louis XV to the 21st century, the program places Ravel not only within an immensely rich, multinational tradition (French and Basque), but also includes a number of works from the immediate decades around the Trios composition, interweaving the work with pieces Ravel himself would have known and heard. Throughout the concert, Merz Trios members will contribute readings of poetry and prose that further illuminate the music and speak to the era.VINCENT SCOTTO & JOSEPHINE BAKER (arr.

The Trio are known for their wide-ranging collaborations and interdisciplinary work, bringing music into conversation with other art forms ranging from dance to the culinary arts.
