Aureus Trio

We are a newly assembled string trio formed by cellist Marco Gutiérrez, violinist Olivia Tries, and me on the viola. We are based in Maastricht, the Netherlands, and we are getting regular masterclasses and coachings with Prof. Piotr Jasiurkowski, Prof. Aljoscha Ristow and Prof. Mihai Cocea. At the moment one of our projects is preparing Mozarts Flute Quartet KV285 in D major with Spanish flutist Ana Casero. In our repertoire you will also find Shuberts String Trio in Bb major D471, and Beethovens String Trio Op. 9 No. 3 in C minor.

New project for live electronic music, by composer Phuc Nguyen and me, playing amplified viola. After performing our Inevitable improvisation at the Natural History Museum, and at the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastrich, we're preparing for Phuc's new composition for solo amplified viola that will take place at Conservatorium Maastricht in the end of May.

Inevitable

Founded in 2024 at Conservatorium Maastricht, we began our musical journey under the guidance of renowned teacher Kyoko Yonemoto. The group is formed by violinists Sara Manaresi and Uxue Medrano, cellist Fermín García and me on the viola. Combining their passion for classical music and diverse backgrounds, we aim to bring fresh interpretations to the string quartet repertoire and are currently working on by Haydn and Mendelssohn.

Peiskos string quartet

String duo formed by Maja Apel, cello and me on the viola. Our ensemble is based in Stavanger, Norway, and among our repertoire you will find a variety of genres and composers. We have made our own arrangements for cello and viola of Bach Inventions, originally for piano, and Sibelius Duo in C major originally for violin and viola, and music from the movie My neighbour Totoro. We also perform Beethovens only piece originally for viola and cello called, Duet mit zwei obligaten Augengläser.

For the past couple of years we have been performing around Stavanger in concerts, conferences, weddings and other private events.
