Trio Noria was founded this year, bringing together three internationally active musicians united by a shared artistic vision and a deep commitment to the string trio repertoire. Drawing on their diverse backgrounds as soloists, chamber musicians and orchestral players, the ensemble explores works from the Viennese Classical period to early modernism, while also championing lesser-known repertoire with curiosity and stylistic awareness.
