The“Schmuck Clarinet Trio”—comprising Sayaka Schmuck, Johann-Peter Taferner, and Kristof Dömötör—delights audiences with its unique instrumentation of clarinet, basset horn, and bass clarinet, as well as its extraordinary tonal diversity. Hailed by the press as “absolutely top-notch,” the ensemble ranks among the finest groups of its kind. This rare combination, which gained worldwide recognition through Sabine Meyer’s Trio di Clarone, remains a rarity on the chamber music scene. With masterful command of their instruments and a deep passion for chamber music, the three artists never fail to enchant their audience. Their performances are characterized by exuberant joy in playing, a magical dialogue, and harmonious ensemble playing. The trio’s repertoire is as diverse as it is fascinating: it ranges from classical music to film scores and tango to jazz. Charming introductions that establish a personal connection with the audience enrich every concert and make it an unforgettable experience. A concert by the clarinet trio is a musical highlight that leaves nothing to be desired.
Depending on the program and occasion, the clarinet trio features a rotating lineup that includes, among others, Yumi Schmuck, Viviana Rieke, and Adam Ambarzumjan
