Combining their collective and vast experience of classical and contemporary music with the textures and colours of folk music, the Saltarello Trio fuses all three styles to inform the tour’s witty arrangements. With swirling string lines and tasty percussion to open a new window on old music, the trio proves that a good tune can speak easily to all of us, no matter what the language, no matter when the time. At the forefront of the new music scene, Garth Knox draws on his vast experience as viola player and composer, collaborating closely with some of the leading composers of today. An exceptional percussionist, Sylvain Lemêtre moves freely between contemporary creations, jazz, improvisation and traditional music, driven by insatiable curiosity and a willingness to experiment. Since touring with Arpeggione String Quartet for 13 years, cellist Agnès Vesterman has explored new territories playing solo works, commissioning contemporary pieces and playing with jazz and world music musicians as well as composing and improvising music for theatre and silent films.
