TRIO TRESENSUS
Trio Tresensus - synthesis of three instruments and feelings which brings the audience into the world of undiscovered sounds, moods and atmospheres. Since December 2015, three musicians from Latvia - Līga Griķe (kokle), Aigars Raumanis (saxophone), Uģis Upenieks (percussions) - have united in a musical journey in search of new colors, thoughts and viewpoints.
The ensemble, consisting of students and graduates of Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music, has participated in many festivals at their home country, promoting the Latvian national instrument Kokle as a concert instrument for the contemporary classical concert hall. Trio Tresensus has collaborated with several contemporary Latvian composers and more than twenty pieces have been dedicated to this unique ensemble. Tresensus’ repertoire also includes self-arranged pieces from folk songs and music from the baroque period and minimalist and rhythmic music of the 21st century.
The main goal of Trio Tresensus is to collaborate with peer composers and look for new possibilities and colors in music and to bring the works of the youngest Latvian composers to concert halls and festivals.
Kokle. Saxophone. Percussions. Three very different and powerful instruments that come together in a unique world of unheard music and sound.
