Piaclava – Clarinet, Viola & Piano Trio

Piaclava is a clarinet, viola and piano trio dedicated to performing engaging music of the past and present – including works by the musicians themselves.

With its unique instrumentation and virtuosic flair , they explore not only the standard repertoire written for this trio, but also a variety of solo and duo works from classical, popular, modern and world-music repertoires.

• include pieces written specifically for the ensemble from composers around the world and of all generations

• include interactive activities by experienced teaching artists associated with Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra

• can include hands-on workshops with the concert audience before or after the performance
