TRIO D'ART
Trio d'Art is a unique ensemble that performs varied and exotic repertoire composed for trumpet, trombone and piano. Paul Archibald, John Kenny and Helen Reid explore the existing repertoire and have commisioned many composers to write for them. The result is that Trio d'Art will be rehearsing and recording this repertoire for a DVD to be launched soon. The DVD will be a documentary about their work and their collaborations with composers and it will be an opportunity to see and hear the trio in action. Details will be posted on the Brass Classics website when the launch date is agreed. Trio d'Art made its debut the in magnificent setting of the Dartington Great Hall during the 2008 Dartington International Summer School & Festival, in a program which included the world premiere of Panta Rei by the Slovakian composer Juraj Filas, a work already hailed as a contemporary masterpiece. The group has gone on to perform throughout the UK and in Europe, including adjudication and performance at the 2009 Gdansk International Brass Competition, Poland. Their programmes reveal the piano and brass trio as a chamber music medium to rival the flexibility and expressive qualities of the classic string and piano trio. Paul Archibald, Helen Reid and John Kenny are all recognised as leading pedagogues and therefore Trio d'Art is a natural extension of their work in music education. The 2009/10 season included the world premieres of works by John Reeman, Peter Swan and Cecilia McDowall, with new pieces by David Robertson and George Nicholson eagerly anticipated. |
