“The
three of us have always played together as far back
as we can remember. In fact our original source of inspiration
was the theatre and not music. We wrote scenes, even
plays and performed them, even making all our own costumes.
Most were not acted by us but by puppets, which we also
made. From these beginnings we began to develop our
artistic creativity.
Looking back on all of this we have come to understand
that the music that we have arranged for piano trio
were really melodies which would become music for our
performance and not just a way to extend our repertoire.
If each is trying through her own instrument to tell
a story, that each should come together may become the
should of ensemble, the togetherness of each. We do
not always think alike but the goal is to form an essential
and genuine unity. It has been said of us that we “are
a single organism with six hands” and that our
playing s is “seamless”, “they played
like three hearts beating as one”. It is surely
our domestic theatre that forms the basis and origins
of these sentiments. .
The one thing that we believe we have never lost is
our need to tell a human story and to have others hear
and understand it. In doing this each of us has sought
to preserve her own voice whiles also listening to the
others and thus to form the essence of ensemble as the
trio. Despite the complexities and our differences,
we believe that the main gift that fate has bestowed
upon us, is that we continue to play together |
