Trio Lorca has firmly established itself at the crossroads between contemporary music and European tradition. Its repertoire is widely varied, ranging from the works of Lukas Foss, George Crumb and Aaron Copland, to the music of Rufus Wainwright and Bjork, and includes adaptations from standard and contemporary repertoire as well as music commissioned specifically for the group. The trio's performances are carefully programmed to be accessible to a wide range of audiences, full of variety and innovation while maintaining a sense of fun.
Trio Lorca established its name in honor of Federico Garcia Lorca, Spanish poet and playwright, whose poetry George Crumb set to music in his Madrigals, Book II. It was this composition the musicians first played as an ensemble and has since become their sentimental favorite.
