Morphose Trio
Morphose Trio is a unique Belgian chamber music ensemble with an exceptional combination of instruments: saxophone, viola, and harp.
Their mission is to go beyond the well-trodden paths of the classical music landscape. The trio achieves this by creating new music in collaboration with composers as well as delving into arranging existing repertoire. The compositions undergo a metamorphosis, exploring the possibilities of the instrumentation and the music while constantly reflecting on the current social context. As a result, the ensemble presents a rich variety of styles, ranging from classicism, romanticism, and impressionism to jazz and contemporary music.
Through the composition of their programs, the Morphose Trio aims to make the listener aware of the socio-cultural impact of art on society. This has led to projects such as “Chronographie” and “Music Shaping Society”, which they performed in various concert halls both nationally and internationally.
The three musicians met during their studies at LUCA School of Arts – Campus Lemmens in Leuven, where their shared passion for music quickly blossomed into a close friendship. In 2019, they decided to further develop their musical knowledge and ambitions together: the Morphose Trio was born.
