Moment

Quest Ensemble is a dynamic contemporary classical chamber trio based in London. The trio has traditional training and roots, but takes a radical turn in making improvisation a key factor in composing and performing their music. Here, we get to know QE, learn about their unique approach and hear generous helpings from their new album.

Right Brain Music Podcast - Episode 15: Quest Ensemble's Radical Take on Classical Tradition

London-based contemporary trio Quest Ensemble bring a unique take to the classical piano trio format.  A collaboration between 3 versatile performers/composers - Filipe Sousa (piano), Preetha Narayanan (violin) and Tara Franks (cello), their varied musical styles weave together a lyrical tapestry of sound, blending improvisation with co-created original compositions.

Drawing on influences as broad as the contemporary minimalism of John Adams and Steve Reich to medieval plainchant, the experimental melancholic textures of Radiohead to the progressive jazz precision of Brad Mehldau, their lyrical melodic lines, rich harmonies and interwoven rhythmic counterpoint place the trio in a unique musical landscape between chamber, jazz, folk and 21th century contemporary classical music.
