Trio SonCe

Sunday 19 May 16:10 - 16:40 (ALL EARS AREA)

Traditional Ukrainian songs performed intensely and with a fresh twist

So much power, so much depth, so much warmth and emotion, the voice of the Ukrainian singer Maryanka Golovchenko hits home immediately. She sings traditional music from Ukraine that has been brought to the present in a very appealing way, without losing any of its emotional charge.

In Trio SonCe musicians from diverse backgrounds come together, the music is a meeting between folk music, jazz and classical, but also between music from East and West, from the past and the present. Golovchenko's beautiful, pure voice is equally beautifully framed by cellist Pau Sola Masafrets and Cengiz Arslanpay on various Turkish wind instruments and modular synthesizer. The result is music with its own unique atmosphere and the intensity is palpable in every note. It is impressive how much heart the musicians put into their playing, while they manage to avoid any form of sentimentality. Trio SoNCe will certainly stay with you.
