About the ensemble
Kvadrat Trio is a London based clarinet trio. Formed in March 2021, they were soon after awarded in the Harold Craxton Prize for their performance of Contrasts by B.Bartok. Their programming includes pieces for clarinet and piano with violin or viola, which makes the ensemble four-edged instead of three – hence their name (kwadrat – pl. square). They have performed recitals in the Angela Burgess Hall at the Royal Academy of Music, as well as the Southwark Cathedral. In the coming months they are looking forward to performing in St James Pimlico, St James Piccadilly, Summer Piano Festival and Petworth Festival.
