Tomeka Reid / Savannah Harris / Angelika Niescier

This Trio blasts itself and the audience with a breathtaking pace which is a real joy to witness.
The trio explores every possible aspect of the interplay, sometimes chamber-musical delicate and transparent, sometimes explosively bold and dense, always charged with tension until the last note and the last break. The complexity and originality of Niescier's compositions is unmissable, the organic structure leads the listener into various musical worlds, which makes the trio's performance so incredibly captivating. With absolute mastery, the three transport a captivating intensity through their music and sound.
