Quercus Trio - Australian Horn Trios Album Launch
Carla Blackwood, horn
Elizabeth Sellars, violin
Rhodri Clarke, piano
Quercus's unique combination of violin, horn and piano provides an extensive palette of colours and musical possibilities which the trio delights in exploiting. The group's name derives from the latin word for oak, a genus of around 600 species belonging to the beech family. The group was drawn to this name after Carla’s sound was described by a composer as “like an oak tree." Inspired by this connection between the horn’s sound and the physicality of the wood in the violin and piano, the group finds further symbolism in the concept of large and timeless oak trees, connecting through earth and rooted in place, and yet reaching through time and space.
This program comprises a retrospective of Australian horn trios, including horn trios by Don Banks and Roger Smalley, Elena Kats Chernin's 'Velvet Revolution', Catherine Likhuta's 'Tangle and Tear' and Gordon Kerry's 'No Abiding City'.
