About
TRE VOCI unites three fearless, visionary artists who are each internationally celebrated as masters of their instruments. Discovering an unusually powerful commonality when they first met at the 2010 Marlboro Music Festival, they bring a distinctly global perspective, musical adventurousness, and transfixing beauty to the ensemble’s performances of “glittering sensuality” (The New York Times). Italian-Canadian-American Marina Piccinini is widely-hailed as “the Heifetz of the flute” (Gramophone). American violist Kim Kashkashian “combines a probing, restless intellect with enormous beauty of tone” (San Francisco Chronicle). Israeli harpist Sivan Magen is “a budding superstar whose dazzlingly virtuosic performances shatter any stereotype of this instrument” (The New York Times). Tre Voci has appeared in music new and old on major stages across the U.S., Mexico, and Europe, including recent appearances in Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, London’s Wigmore Hall, Carnegie’s Weill hall, and Italy’s Accademia Chigiana featuring a new work written especially for the ensemble by the celebrated Toshio Hosokawa. Tre Voci’s critically acclaimed first recording for fabled ECM Records features works by Debussy, Takemitsu, and Gubaidulina.
