Trifarious Ensemble

        • performing modern music of the highest calibre •

Trifarious is a vibrant contemporary ensemble comprising Tim Redpath (clarinet/saxophone), Rachel Calaminus (violin/viola) along with associate collaborative musicians including pianists Nicola Meecham and Alex Wilson. Its unique and diverse instrumentation opens up an ever-expanding sound world with which to perform and promote new music. Formed in 2012, Trifarious has created its own distinctive sound and repertoire and has established itself as a shining light in the world of new music. The ensemble has accrued original repertoire for a variety of instrument combinations from leading national and international composers. The five sound worlds of clarinet, saxophone, violin, viola and piano are all at the disposal of both performer and composer and are complimented by a variety of extended platforms including Akai’s EWi (Electronic Wind Instrument) and acoustic instrument DPA microphones and amplification. The ensemble enhances its concerts with its own stage lighting and video projection.
