Trio ERA in the Kaisersaal: A Journey from the Renaissance to Debussy

In the magnificent Kaisersaal of Kloster Banz, Trio ERA ignites a chamber concert full of contrasts: recorder, trombone, and harpsichord bring works by Byrd, van Eyck, Frescobaldi, Bach, Telemann, Mozart, and Debussy to new light. A rare soundscape, perfect for the intimate acoustics of the hall, and a concert experience that combines closeness, warmth, and precision.

Colors of Sound between History and Present

The extraordinary orchestration ensures a lively dramaturgy: the smooth articulation of the recorder, the noble timbre of the trombone, the buoyant motoric of the harpsichord. Subtle direction from within the ensemble, clear synchronization, and a transparent sound characterize the stage performance.

Repertoire with Range

From the medieval estampie to the baroque trio sonata, from Mozart's elegance to Debussy's play of colors – the program spans a wide arc of music history. The ensemble's arrangements connect styles without distorting the sources, showing how early music can pulse in today's concert hall.

Artist Profile

Sophia Schambeck (recorder) has been awarded the Bavarian Art Promotion Prize 2024 and released her debut album Nature in 2025.

Harpsichordist Alexander von Heißen won 1st prize at the International Bach Competition Leipzig in 2022 and has been teaching as a professor in Leipzig since 2024.

Live Atmosphere in the Kaisersaal

The acoustics of the baroque grandeur carry fine embellishments, articulated runs, and beguiling legato to the very last row. Light and spatial effects intensify the audience's mood – chamber music that breathes and touches.
