Trio Klavis

Trio Klavis has established itself as an exceptional new chamber-music ensemble, attracting international attention with their unique sound and impressively diverse repertoire.

As pioneers of this formation, the trio passionately engages with any style or era they find close to their hearts - from the classical and romantic era (Mozart and Brahms, or the Second Viennese School of Schoenberg and Krenek), to original works inspired by ancient folk melodies and new jewels of the 21st century by living composers. Trio Klavis are determined to expand the existing repertoire for piano, violin and saxophone trio. They regularly premiere original compositions by acclaimed composers, as well as their own compositions. Their devotion can be felt through the fact that they give all performances from memory, internalizing the music before offering it to the audience.

Trio Klavis has already performed in major classical venues such as the Vienna Musikverein, Tonhalle Zürich, St. Petersburg Philharmonie, Gasteig Münich and renowned festivals such as Grafenegg Festival, Allegro Vivo and the Kissinger Sommer in Bad Kissingen. International tours have taken the trio through Europe, Asia and Africa. In 2015, the ensemble received the Austrian Federal Chancellery Scholarship for Music and was awarded the Bank Austria Art Prize that same year.

In 2016 the trio released their debut album "Geography of Sound" with Orlando Records, a compilation of classical works with folk music influences from all over the world. Austrian Musikfonds institution supported the production of their second album, which includes works by J. Brahms, D. Shostakovich and E. Krenek. Trio Klavis were Musik Aktuell artists in 2015 and were chosen to be NASOM "New Austrian Sound of Music” artists for 2020-2
