Concert Programs
Black Moon Trio offers a curated range of concert programs that blend chamber music with narrative, imagery, and human experience. Each program is thoughtfully designed around a central story or theme, pairing classical repertoire with contemporary works, original arrangements, and spoken or visual elements. These programs are adaptable for concert halls, arts centers, and community spaces. Together, these programs invite audiences into music not simply as performance, but as a shared act of listening, reflection, and imagination.
Recital Repertoire
Dedicated recital repertoire that highlights new and recently composed music for horn, violin, and piano. This repertoire features works by emerging and established composers, world premieres, and thoughtfully selected modern pieces that expand the expressive and sonic possibilities of the trio’s instrumentation. These programs emphasize collaboration with living composers, innovative textures, and fresh perspectives within the chamber music tradition, offering presenters and audiences an experience that is both artistically current and deeply engaging.
Collaborative Programs
Programs rooted in strong narrative structure and created in close partnership with arts organizations, educators, writers, cultural institutions, and community groups. These projects are built through deep collaboration, integrating music with storytelling, text, movement, visual art, or place-based themes to create cohesive, immersive experiences. By working closely with partner organizations from concept through performance, Black Moon Trio ensures that each program reflects shared values, audience needs, and artistic vision, resulting in performances that are context-specific, mission-aligned, and resonant long after the final note.
