An unusual trio, winners of the German Music Competition in the "New Music" category, presents here "Breathe". Paula Breland (clarinet), Jennifer Assmus (violoncello) and Anna-Katharina Schau (accordion) make up the trio – a confluence of instruments that, despite their significant differences, are nevertheless all "breathing" instruments. This is reflected both in the organic music-making style of the young musicians and in their selection of lively works of contemporary music. The program includes music by Katzer, Kuwan, Goldmann, Tiensuu, Rojko, and Fagerlund – examples of how new music can narrate stories passionately and sensually. © Genuin
