Trio Scordatura

Trio Scordatura

Trio Scordatura has been played on NTS shows including LOFT, with For 12 Strings (Rising) first played on 22 February 2022.

trio scordatura is an Amsterdam-based ensemble that specialises in vocal and instrumental music involving microtonal tunings and spanning a broad range of musical styles. The basic sound-world of female voice, viola and keyboard is expanded by other sonorities depending on musical context. Their concerts feature "classics" from the worlds of microtonal and spectral music, together with new commissions from a wide range of contemporary composers and sound artists.

trio scordatura grew initially from a project to perform the works for intoning voice, Adapted Viola and Chromelodeon by the American composer Harry Partch. This music, composed in the early 1930s, involves voice and two instruments - a viola and a harmonium - that were adapted by Partch in order to play music in his elaborate microtonal scale with more than forty unequal divisions of the octave. trio scordatura uses an exact copy of Partch's Adapted Viola authorised by the Harry Partch Foundation, one of only a very few such instruments in Europe. Besides performing the early works of Partch trio scordatura has formed close working relationships with a number of leading contemporary composers, among them Horatiu Radulescu, Phill Niblock, Alvin Lucier, François-Bernard Mâche and Lasse Thoresen. The trio has performed at the Sonorities Festival, Belfast, UK Microfest 2 in Surrey, the KlankKleurFestival in Amsterdam, Musica Sacra Maastricht, Roulette in New York, the Logos Foundation in Ghent, and gives regular performances at the Karnatic Lab series in Amsterdam.
