Versatile and genre-busting, NZTrio epitomises the relevance of live music in a digital age. This group smashes preconceptions of classical music being stuffy and intimidating by engaging their listeners with intimate and dynamic performances, Each concert is a unique experience, Mixing musical cultures and genres, and often involving collaborations with a diverse range of international artists, NZTrio inspires people of all walks of life to see classical music, both old and new, as approachable, essential and meaningful. With this new album, their first on the ABC Classics label, the Trio presents music by award-winning Australian composer Stuart Greenbaum, The Greenbaum sound has clear connections to jazz, pop and minimalism but goes beyond these important influences: 'I often conceive of music in terms of journeys, but I also believe that music should be appreciable as pure, abstract sound in time, Either way, my music aims to evoke an atmosphere apart from the routine of modern life, At times, I think we lose a sense of wonderment at our earthly surrounds, I believe in the need to cultivate space in a world increasingly filled with commercialism, light and noise pollution and 24/7 thinking.'
