The Trio Con Brio
|
Trio con Brio explores new musical possibilities with their unique approach
using three organs to perform original transcriptions and musical works from
all time periods. Trio con Brio was originally founded with lifelong
friends Jonas Nordwall, Donna Parker and Tom Hazleton, with Martin Ellis as
the understudy. With Tom's untimely passing in 2006, Martin became the
official third member of Trio con Brio, and they continue the tradition of
celebrating diverse musical backgrounds to create critically acclaimed,
one-of-a-kind performances. Their CD "In the Key of Three" received
critical acclaim and rave reviews. |
