Trio La Strada: Beyond the Limit

In the organizer's words:

Under the artistic direction of composer Arsen Babajanyan, Trio La Strada brings together three distinguished musicians who share a passion for the arts and for contemporary music in particular. The name of the ensemble refers to the work "La Strada Trio" by the well-known contemporary Polish composer Paweł Mykietyn. The title itself is an allusion to the film of the same name by Federico Fellini. Mykietyn's piece was composed for saxophone, violoncello and piano - the same instrumentation that forms the core of the ensemble.

Trio La Strada stands for openness towards all forms of innovation, experimentation, interdisciplinary projects, diverse collaborations and continuous musical development.
