Trio Catch

Martin Adámek, clarinet Eva Boesch, cello Sun-Young Nam, piano To catch the audience: with a virtuosic dialogue between the very different timbres of the clarinet, cello, and piano; through the joy of making music together; through searching tirelessly for a shared sound. This is what makes Trio Catch stand out. The trio got its name from “Catch” op. 4 by Thomas Adès, in which the clarinet is “caught” by a piano trio that plays a charming children’s round. Alongside performing classical music, the interpretation of contemporary music is one of the main focuses of the three musicians. The trio have worked with numerous composers throughout the twelve years of their collaboration, including Georges Aperghis, Beat Furrer and Helmut Lachenmann. Trio Catch’s debut CD “in between” was released in 2014 on the col legno label, followed by the release of “Sanh” in 2016. Their last disc „As if“, released on Bastille Musique, was awarded the German Record Critics’ Award. A busy schedule has already seen Trio Catch playing concerts in South America, Asia and Europe, in venues such as the Cologne Philharmonic, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Philharmonie du Luxembourg, the Pierre Boulez Hall in Berlin as well as at festivals such as Ultraschall Berlin, Musica Strasbourg and the Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik. During the 2015/16 season Trio Catch performed at some of the greatest concert halls in Europe as part of the European Concert Halls Organisation’s “Rising Stars” series.
