Trinity Winds Trio exists purely to perform for the enjoyment of both its musicians, who have a life long love for music, and also for the audience, in an effort to expose them to quality small ensemble experiences. Our unique instrumentation; flute, clarinet, and bassoon, lends perfectly to playing at all types of events. There is no age-specific music in our repertoire. And there are no limits of the variety, which means we appeal to all ages and all music style preferences. The three musicians met playing in large ensembles. After many public performances together it became apparent that the experience level, education, and passions were similar. We realized the three of us shared the same commitment and desire to move forward as a small group. We invested time and expertise in building a large repertoire, establishing a working website, professional communication and researching the need for our type of ensemble. It was out there, so we have continued for the past two years. To date our impact has been rewarding; and we wish to emerge further. We have performed at churches, the Calgary Zoo, senior facilities, chamber concerts, private garden parties, weddings, and funerals. We have been received with much support. Most people are surprised at our combination of instruments, quality, and level of musicianship.
