Trio INK

chamber music ensemble

Founded in 2005, Trio Ink (formerly Trio+) has quickly become recognized as a remarkably compelling and innovative chamber music ensemble. Priding itself on its programming creativity, the trio has frequently collaborated with outstanding artists of in various fields to present great works of music in unexpected contexts and formats.

The trio has performed extensively throughout Japan and North America, including in such prestigious venues as Tokyo’s Suntory Hall, the Tokyo Spring Festival, The Mito Arts Center, The Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber Music Society and many others. Consisting of three musicians who are equally adept as soloists and chamber musicians, the trio is able to draw on a vast repertoire of great music – new and old – to form programs rich in musical variety and historical insight.

The trio’s creativity also comes across in the collaborations that have come to define its work, including memorable educational programs created with animators and actors, a theatrical event created with singers that received a prestigious grant from the Canadian government, and numerous collaborations with wind players and string players that encompass the breadth of the quartet and quintet chamber music repertory.
