Janascharco Trio was founded in 1996 by Natascha Chircop (flute), Tatjana Chircop (violin) and Marco Rivoltini (piano), three prolific and versatile performers who have since then further established themselves not only as individual performers but also as an ensemble. They have performed in prestigious locations such as Hotel de Ville, Lanester (Bretagne), The Stables Theatre, Hastings (England), in Damascus (Syria), in Lucca (Italy) and several times in Malta and Gozo, particularly for the Victoria International Arts Festival, Gozo. They have premiered works by a number of composers including John Simpson and Joseph Vella. They have also recorded a CD of the late Mro Joseph Vella’s works, which encompasses some of his most extraordinary chamber music, including Segments no. 1 op. 93, which Mro Vella composed particularly for them.
