Trio Gemini is a piano trio that is comprised of three talented young Danish musicians. The trio has performed across Denmark in some of the most important festivals such as Hindsgavl, Bornholm and Søbygaard as well as in chamber music societies Kammermusikforeningen 1887, Rønnebæksholm. Jakob Alsgaard Bahr (piano) and Pedersen twin sisters Karen Johanne (violin) and Kirstine Elise (cello) have each completed the soloist schemes from the 3 Danish music academies (Copenhagen, Aarhus and Odense). They are all outstandingly diverse musicians in their own right, with individual careers in solo, orchestra, chamber, folk and teaching: bringing this together for a fresh approach to the Danish and International classical chamber music scene.

Nikolaus Gerszewski is a trained visual artist and self-trained composer of experimental music, born 1964 in Hamburg, currently living in Budapest, Hungary, where he has been teaching experimental soundproduction at the university of fine arts, since 2014. 

"The term ‘experimental music‘ means to my understanding, music that results from an experimental arrangement. The notation follows a procedure model, which substitutes the compositional decision making process. Depending on the listener’s mindset the sounding result may be found intersting or boring, beautiful or annoying. I have never been very much interested in sound as such, or even beauty as such, whatever that means. The sound of music is the trace of a thought process, and all that matters, is that the idea takes shape as clearly as possible." Since 2021 Nikolaus is a member of the composer's collective Frog Peak Music

Founded in 2016 in St. Petersburg, {instead} ensemble is active in various facets of contemporary music.

The ensemble mainly explores three directions of musical activity: discovering and performing new music; compositions of mostly late 20th century (historical direction); collective improvisation. Our line-up is flexible to reflect the ideology of a given project., featuring musicians of various backgrounds (contemporary classical&experimental music, improvisation, live art performance etc.), which in turn influences the repertoire.

We have participated in concerts within the SoundArtLab project of the Baltic branch of State Contemporary Art Centre, the Fifth International St. Petersburg Cultural Forum, Musical Evenings at the Academy of Art, Sound Around Kaliningrad.

The ensemble has performed at various venues in St.Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Minsk, Moscow, Gdansk, and Hamburg, together with musicians such as Danil Akimov, Yaroslav Zemlyansky, Vladimir Kanatchikov, Darya Ponomareva, and joined the St. Petersburg Improvisers Orchestra to perform Spatial Composition № 3 by Vladimir Gorlinsky.

The composers whose works have been premiered by {instead} ensemble include Anatoly Korolev, Daniil Pilchen, Svetlana Lavrova, Artur Zobnin, Ivan Abramov, Elina Lebedze, Dmitry Timofeev, Elizaveta Akbalkan, Alexandra Korableva, Oleg Gudachev, Natalia Solovieva, and Dmitry Shchukin.
