The Trio for Clarinet, Viola, and Piano was composed for the TRUST project in close collaboration with the Het Oostertrio. The project involved a visual triptych of a silent film accompanied by live music performed by Het Oostertrio. The silent film was created by Lidewei Egbers in collaboration with choreographer Jori Meijer and dancers Romy Reckers and Louis Siegert. The project aimed to address the following questions:
“Would you trust another person when it comes to implementing your creative ideas? Would you be able to yield and accept your identity in the process? Is it possible for someone to change you for the better?”
The Trio for Clarinet, Viola, and Piano, however, transcends mere narration of the TRUST project and can stand alone with its own lyrical narrative in a music performance.
