About the Sylvan Trio: Comprised of the eclectic instrumentation of flute, cello and piano, the Sylvan Trio explores new music as well as pieces from the standard repertoire. The group has performed throughout the Midwest, including concerts in Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Toledo, Duluth, and at Purdue University. Their studio and live recordings receive airplay throughout the U.S. and beyond, including multiple appearances on Performance Today (the nation’s most listened-to classical music program). Adventurous and creative, the Sylvans will often adapt works from the traditional piano trio literature and other repertoire, breathing new vitality into pieces across the art-music spectrum from Purcell to Piazzolla. The Sylvans recorded the eponymous piece on the 2018 album, Seasonal Breezes: Five Chamber Works by Rick Sowash. Sowash composed “Seasonal Breezes” for the Trio, a four-movement work depicting the seasons and inspired by poetry and song. They followed up this release in 2020 with the digital album “Music for Flute, Cello & Piano by Women Composers” on Kickshaw Records.
