The Pelléas Trio
| Supported by the Concordia Foundation 2010, the Pelléas Trio is an engaging and dynamic chamber ensemble. The performers met in 2009 after discovering a shared passion for ensemble playing and exploring new music. Since then, they have given numerous concerts in and around London, which have been extremely well received. The Pelléas Trio performs a wide variety of music from Beethoven and Bax to contemporary composers such as Rhian Samuel and Paul Lewis. The combination of harp, flute and viola, together with the enthusiastic and vibrant approach of the performers, makes the Pelléas Trio visually and musically persuasive. |
