Trio Nocturno
Trio Nocturno is a young string trio based in Amsterdam, formed by passionate string
players specializing in historical approach using period instruments and gut strings.
Their core repertoire presently consists of Boccherini’s trio
works for two violins and cello, works (Op.1, 4, 7, 34 and 54)
had heretofore hardly been played or recorded compared
to the composer's other output ranging from Vienna, Paris
to Madrid.
Apart from exploring Boccherini's development, Trio
Nocturno ranges in its repertoire from the early XVII till late
XVIII century, from the origin of string consort setting such
as Matthew Locke, Henry Purcell, Golden-Age of Italian trio
such as Marini, Uccelini, until Galant and pre-Classical style
such as Telemann, C.P.E.Bach and Haydn.
Each of the trio's members are studying in Conservatorium van Amsterdam, emphasizing
historical performance studies with Sophie Gent, Viola de Hoog. They also receive frequent
advice and lessons from Anna Bijlsma who is the specialist for Boccherini repertoire and
most eminent string player.
