Three music professors at Florida's Frost School of Music have come together to create the Solidaire Trio, the first-ever ensemble for flute, cello, and percussion, the Miami Herald reports.
"Musically, we speak as a common language in how we think about new music, reinventing traditional ideas and bringing them into creative spaces," Jeffrey Zeigler, assistant professor of chamber music and innovation, says in a press release.
"Jennifer, Svet, and I followed a path that encourages more individuality and interpersonal collaboration."
The trio debuts Saturday at Frost as part of the Spring Chamber Music Festival.
They'll perform Philip Glass' "Opening" and George Crumb's "The Voice of the Whale" with Svetoslav Stoyanov taking the prepared piano part.
"As we tour, we thought this group could be a flag school," Zeigler says.
"One of the things I've been trying to create is a culture for chamber music and collaboration, which by definition fosters students' individuality."
