Join us for a special performance by The Peacock Trio, featuring the enchanting combination of flute, harp, and viola.
During World War II, Claude Debussy was inspired by a letter written to him by Igor Stravinsky, expressing the need for the composers of the day to write beautiful music for when the canons ceased. He decided upon the sonorous combination of flute, viola, and harp to meet this challenge. This ground-breaking combination of instruments has gone on to inspire many composers to write for this chamber ensemble and we are enjoying exploring the endless possibilities of the combination. This trio has gained popularity partly due to its unique timbre: with its arco (bowed) and pizzicato abilities, the viola bridges the gap between the smooth flute sound and plucked harp tones.
