The TriNiti string trio consists of academic classical musicians, collaborators and members of the Maribor opera and ballet symphony orchestra. In an effort to make music together outside the confines of symphonic and operatic music, they founded a chamber ensemble in order to present a specific way of chamber music to the widest possible audience through various genres of music. The string trio represents a unique form of collective expression that, unlike classical chamber ensembles, where the traditionally established balance between four voices, two lower voices and two higher voices prevails, must and can equally naturally radiate fullness and freedom of sound and strong harmonically substantive musical expression.
