Biography
The Kassia Trio is a modern re-invention of the piano trio made up of two saxophones (Chloe Percy-Smith and Emma Jones) and piano (Amy Bladon). Through exploring a range of repertoire, the trio’s aim is to keep classical music accessible, as well as helping to promote the saxophone as a classical instrument. With a repertoire extending from modern pieces to classical transcriptions alongside lighter well-known musical classics; their evening programme will range from Max Bruch to George Gershwin with much in between - sure to provide entertainment for all.
