The Joe Trio is not your average piano trio. They don't want to be neatly categorized, but instead strive for diversity, versatility and more than a little humour and unpredictability. Their repertoire consists of the classics - from Papa Haydn to Uncle Shostakovich - new works by contemporary composers and their own arrangements of popular, jazz and rock tunes. And they're not afraid to mix together so many styles of music into a single piece it makes your head spin.
More than virtuosi, the Trio's members are fantastic performers who engage the audience in a way few classical musicians can. Amply witty, charming and tremendously musical, Joe Trio leaves audiences with a new appreciation for classical music.
Catch the Joe Trio in concert on Sunday, March 6, at 2 p.m. at the School of Music in Madeira Park.
Since Joe Trio was formed in 1989, this classically trained violin-cello-piano threesome has presented hundreds of concerts throughout Canada and the U.S.
They've played everywhere from Whitehorse to Corpus Christi, from Sacramento to St. John's, and even in Ely, Nevada. They also appear regularly in their hometown of Vancouver with the Little Chamber Music Series That Could Society.
As well as giving concerts, the Trio enjoys offering their services for education outreach programs, and has played many school shows for children of all ages.
Tickets are $20, available at: Harbour Insurance, John Henry's Marina, the Sechelt Visitors' Centre and Gaia's Fair Trade.
