Did your girlfriend show you 1,342 animated Adam Sandler GIFs over Valentine's Weekend? Boyfriend won't stop Instagramming in lieu of pillow talk? Spouse habitually checking Twitter and Facebook instead of tenderly caressing your fair and scintillating flesh? Hashtag them on the side of the skull and feed their souls Friday night at Schneebeck Concert Hall. We don't mean to be crass (really, because even those with 10,000 photos in their pocket are most welcome, too) but the Puget Sound Piano Trio will blow your connected but completely unconnected partner's mind with a brilliant trio from Mozart, a moody depiction of the changing light of day by Joaquin Turina and a powerful Tchaikovsky. The University of Puget Sound School of Music faculty members pianist Duane Hulbert, violinist Maria Sampen and cellistDavid Requiro will perform Mozart's Piano Trio in C major, K. 548, whichinterweaves lyrical melodies between the three instruments, while the finale is a romping allegro, with a darker middle section; Spanish composer Joaquin Turina's Circulo: Fantasy for Piano, Violin, and Violoncello, Opus 91, which has three movements, each depicting a different time of day: dawn, midday, and dusk; and Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio in A minor, Opus 50, one of the most dramatic of the piano trios from the Romantic era. Are you still there? The program is an ideal introduction to how music affects our lives. And don't forget: They say listening to the music of Mozart can help prevent skimming the poorly lit, superbly foreign, awkwardly framed lives of relative strangers.

PUGET SOUND PIANO TRIO: MOZART, TURINA, TCHAIKOVSKY, 7:30 p.m., Schneebeck Concert Hall, University of Puget Sound, 1500 N. Warner, Tacoma, $10-$15, 253.879.3100
