PROGRAMME
TBC
Known for their rich musicality and creative programming, Trio Farben are equally at home in concert halls, galleries, and informal venues. They have performed at major UK venues including The Bridgewater Hall, Cadogan Hall, and Milton Court Concert Hall, and regularly appear in more intimate settings, from churches and clubs to historic houses and experimental spaces.
In 2024, the trio were selected for the Britten Pears Young Artist Programme as Chamber Ensemble in Residence for the 2024–25 season, supported by the H Steven and P E Wood Bursary. During this residency, they premiered a new trio by Iranian-American composer Darius Paymai, and gave sold-out performances at Jubilee Hall, Britten Studio, and Orford Church.
Trio Farben is passionate about expanding the repertoire for flute, viola, and harp, a combination first brought together by Debussy, and programming it alongside both contemporary works and new commissions. Their 2025 touring programme, A Vaughan Williams Celebration, features soprano Maddy Morris, with the trio’s own arrangements of Vaughan Williams’ Four Last Songs, traditional folksongs collected by Vaughan Williams and Cecil Sharp, a new commission by Imogen Davey. The project is generously supported by the Vaughan Williams Foundation.
Collaboration is at the heart of the trio’s practice, often working across disciplines and incorporating live electronics and visual media into their performances. Projects have included Pinpricks In The Sky (2020), a multimedia collaboration exploring climate change with Orchestra for the Earth, filmmaker Big Blue Blueprint, poet Milli Dubin, and composer Adam Possener, as well as performances with jazz drummer Mark Sanders. The trio has also received coaching and mentorship from leading musicians including Robert Levin, Jane Atkins, Prach Boondiskulchock, and members of the Endellion Quartet and Heath Quartet.
Trio Farben continue to carve a distinctive path through their commitment to adventurous programming, cross-arts collaboration, and bringing bold new music to a wide range of audiences.
