Triquetra Brass Trio {TRY-KEH-TRAH} are a vibrant and innovative ensemble formed in 2021 by graduates of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Originally created as a way of expressing themselves further as musicians, the trio has grown and developed into an established chamber group, with an emphasis on promoting brass playing within the community. The ensemble's ethos is to make music accessible to all audiences, with an ever-expanding repertoire that spans across 400 years. The group are passionate about the importance of education work and take pride in providing workshops and interactive performances as well as formal recitals. Taking part in collaborative projects with varying art forms and artists, they are able to introduce audiences to new pieces, and to the seldom-heard brass trio format of trumpet, French horn and trombone. Their Dunfermline programme includes a variety of works spanning over 300 years, incorporating pieces written specifically for the group's instrumentation as well as adapted arrangements. The group hope to deliver a concert showcasing the versatility of the brass trio.
