Trio Écossaise

​Jennifer Brown (clarinet), Harriet Davidson (cello) andClaire Haslin (piano) have performed together for over fifteen years. All three hail from Scotland. Last season​’s programme of works by female composers – Clara Schumann, Farrenc, Tailleferre and Walker – was very well received by other Scottish music societies. In addition to their chamber music commitments, they each pursue busy and diverse freelance careers, including delivering workshops and masterclasses.

Their Dunfermline programme will include Mozart’s Trio K498 in E flat major, Fauré’s Trio in D minor Op.120 and works by Nadia Boulanger and Germaine Tailleferre, but will start with a new, as yet untitled, commission from Scottish composer Helen Leach, which the Trio Ecossaise will be the first to perform. Our concert will probably be the world premiere!

Helen’s music is very beautiful and pastoral in style. You can hear works of hers similar to the Trio she is writing at the moment in the recently-released album at this link.
