Details:
Whether reinventing jazz standards, breathing fresh life into classical repertoire, or premiering their own original works, Tre Corda generates a compelling sound all its own. Hailing from ensembles as diverse as Lyle Lovett, Paul Winter and the Boston Pops, these three incredible musicians and composers blend composition and improvisation in new and unexpected ways, using the vocabulary of classical composers like Bartok and Stravinsky, as well as songs and ideas from the worlds of jazz and popular musics. Cellist Eugene Friesenâs dynamic rhythms and incredible array of bowing and plucking techniques, trumpeter Greg Hopkinsâs virtuosic leaps and outrageous genre-bending phrases, and pianist Tim Rayâs lyric melodicism and two-fisted pyrotechnics - these are just a few of the ways Tre Corda concerts have satisfied and delighted audiences with both jazz and classical expectations.

âTre Corda brings together an awesome array of talent, performance wisdom and stylistic variations, from classical to pop and jazz. They are world ambassadors.â - Somerville Journal

âTre Corda - what a marvelous recording. WOW! I thoroughly enjoy the beautiful writing and the great performance by all three of you. BRAVO!â - Rufus Reid, legendary jazz bassist and educator
