Ensemble Triotique

3D: Everything that is created when three women, three instruments and three personalities come together. Six composers have set to work creating new compositions to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Triotique: their works are presented here, with one of Triotique’s favourite pieces to round off the CD.

Triotique
Triotique is a young and enthusiastic trio with a particular fondness for contemporary classical music. Sisters Elke Elsen (transverse flute) and Frauke Elsen (oboe) are in perfect harmony and balanced masterfully by Margot Welleman (piano). Their mission is combining high musical quality with originality, interaction, and a healthy dose of guts, in order to reach as wide an audience as possible. The trio was founded in 2013, after the three met at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. Since their debut, the ensemble has given concerts throughout Belgium and the Netherlands and has been a guest on “Opium” for Dutch Radio 4 and “Boetiek Klassiek” for Klara in Belgium. The trio won the Prix Mathilde Horlait-Dapsens from the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles in 2013 and were finalists in the Fontys-Toonzaal Ensemble Contest in ’s Hertogenbosch in 2015. They are currently coached as an ensemble in the Orpheus institute. With actress Abigail Abraham they created the children’s theatre piece The Chinese Nightingale, with which they have toured schools and cultural centres for the last three years.
