Recording!

 After many COVID postponements, we finally were able to record a beautifully-written string trio by Canadian composer, Michel Szczesniak.

Composed for Gisèle, Jill and Eileen

                Rehearsing together in Seeley's Bay, live and in person, smiles under the masks!

 

Icing on the cake...rehearsing and recording in person
 @ The Isabel!

            Michel, Jill, Eileen, Gisèle and Mike 

 

 

Fun with Fotos!

We needed new photos so asked Sophie S. (who happened to be in town) to photograph us in nature...you could say we are "the organic trio." 😊 

 

Triola/Quartessence/Duetta...the best music is made with friends!

Variations on the theme:

 friendship and merry music-making!

We are Triola Trio...

Triola @ The Rockpost Barn

Quartessence @ a garden party

Quartessence @ a house party

but have been known to play as a quartet, 

        Quartessence...a string quartet, 

Quartessence with Cantabile Choirs

or as a duo - Duetta, a string duo,

     

Duetta @ a
wedding celebration

Triola with Michel Szczesniak

 

or then again, as a trio - Triola Trio. 

The possibilities are endless! 

We've been making music together for almost 40 years and have never tired of the music, the process or each other!

What a joy!

Winter is over!!!

     And we are SO ready to play together again!

It's been a long, quiet winter! Opportunities for us to play together have been few and far 

between. COVID has really sucked the life out of live music! We've been keeping busy with small projects here and there and have been very thankful for each and every one of them . More to come about those...

Gifting music!

What to give to a couple celebrating

a very special 50th anniversary?

The perfect choice - a gift of music!

We had the pleasure of listening to this wonderful trio on our front lawn for our 50th wedding anniversary. While having this private audience the incredible music drew the butterflies, bees and hummingbird through our flower beds with the musical ambiance on our lawn. It was magical and simply spontaneous. This will be a very special memory for us and we thank you for being part of this....Conrad and Eduarda 

Thank you to the Muis family for inviting Triola to join in their family celebration!

First wedding of the season - better later than never!

After a season of cancellations and re-scheduling, finally....

 

An enchanting setting, heartfelt vows, favourite childhood memories in music chosen by the bride...no better way to spend an afternoon!
