I have finally finished working on Trio sTREga website and from June 9, 2010 it is officially online at www.stregamusic.com . The sTREga part of my website will be still on for a while but for the latest updates and all completed information please go to the group's own homepage. I hope you will like it!
Kasia.
Strega in Italian translates as witch or sorcerer, and the verb stregare, means to bewitch, as in making someone fall madly in love through magic. Trio sTREga is a chamber group co-founded by Polish clarinettist Katarzyna (Kasia) Marczak and Italian pianist Erika Crinó. Kasia and Erika met in Vancouver at the University of British Columbia while both completing their Doctorates in Performance. Their shared love for chamber music and mutual interest in contemporary works led them to form Trio sTREga, along with a fellow cellist. |

With the recent move to Toronto, the trio changed its profile into combination of clarinet, violin and piano with outstanding violinist Ewa Sas joining the group as the third member.
Our next "seasonal" concert at Heliconian Hall - Fall For Music - is already in the past. We performed the new trio written for us for our friend Norbert Palej (The North Imagined. A Tribute to Glenn Gould), together with the works of Chopin, Brahms, Schumann and Milhaud. It was a great pleasure to play all the fabulous pieces and we received a lot of positive feedback from the audience afterwards. Thank you everyone who came to join us in falling for music this Fall! We will post here photos and video excerpts from the performance as soon as possible, please keep checking our website!
The next sTREga event will be on January 28, 2011 as a part of University of Toronto New Music Festival. More details regarding the time and venue can be found under the Schedule on sTREga website. We will post there also the detailed program of the evening closer to the date.
In October 2009 sTREga recorded two marvelous trios: Aram Khachaturian's Trio and Darius Milaud's Suite. This is not a commercially released CD but anyone interested in buying it can contact us directly for more information. Several audio samples of the content of this CD are available in the auDIO part , feel free to go there and listen!
