Nov 14 : Concert TRIO APACHES at the Shoe Factory in Nicosia 11/14/2014 CONCERT TRIO APACHES Matthew Trusler / violin Thomas Carroll / cello Ashley Wass / piano ''LA MER PROJECT'' Friday 14 November 2014 The Shoe Factory, Nicosia / 8.30pm The Pharos Arts Foundation presents the Cyprus debut concert of the recently-formed Trio Apaches, comprising three of the UK’s most respected soloists – violinist Matthew Trusler, cellist Thomas Carroll and pianist Ashley Wass. The Trio was established in 2012 as the consequence of a shared desire to focus on innovative projects and challenging cross-genre collaborations, as well as to present masterworks of the trio repertoire in unfamiliar contexts. Very much representative of the group’s intention to create projects outside the traditional! realm of the piano trio, Trio Apaches’ concert in Nicosia, on Friday 14 November at The Shoe Factory, will feature a newly commissioned transcription of Debussy’s La Mer by the Royal Philharmonic Society Award winner, composer Sally Beamish. The concert will also include John Ireland’s Piano Trio No.2 as well as Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio in A minor. TRIO APACHES French A-pash [noun] 1. ruffian or hooligan 2. the name adopted by a group of ‘artistic outcasts’, including Ravel and Stravinsky, in the early 1900s Matthew Trusler / violin Thom! as Carroll / cello Ashley Wass / piano Trio Apaches, comprising three of the UK’s most respected soloists, was formed in 2012 as the consequence of a shared desire to focus on innovative projects and challenging cross-genre collaborations, as well as to present masterworks of the trio repertoire in unfamiliar contexts. Very much representative of the group’s intention to create projects outside the traditional realm of the piano trio, Trio Apaches have already released their debut album, which features a newly commissioned transcription of Debussy’s La Mer by Sally Beamish alongside one of Beamish’s original works. Built on a foundation of great friendship between three colleagues who have collaborated in various forms over many years, Trio Apaches have quickly been embraced on the international concert scene and are unanimously praised for the infectious joy and virtuosity of their performances and the innovative nature of their programmes. They have made numerous appearances on BBC Radio 3, most recently in a live BBC l! unchtime concert from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in a recital juxtaposing Copland with Tchaikovsky.
