The Galan Trio, based in Athens, is recognized for their vibrant and dynamic performances, both in Greece and internationally. Their focus on premiering new compositions has led them to develop unique programs, most notably their recent project Kinesis, with its first edition featuring works by five prominent American composers. This project laid the foundation for their first U.S. tour in October 2021, and since then, they have performed Kinesis at over 30 universities across the United States, including prestigious institutions such as the University of California, Berkeley, Rice University (Houston), and Temple University (Philadelphia).

With a growing discography, the Trio has released five albums: Switch (Akanthos Int. LTD), Ararat (Melism Records), Kinesis and Kinesis, Vol.2 (Neuma Records), and De Chirico (Phasma Music). Their debut album, Switch (2017), showcased a blend of international musical influences, featuring works composed specifically for the Trio by composers from the U.S.A., Armenia, Ireland, Portugal, Germany, and Greece. The album received critical acclaim and was broadcasted on international radio.

In 2016, Galan Trio performed in Gulangyu, China—known as “Piano Island”—at the “Greek Inspirations in China” festival, the first event in China dedicated to Greek music. They have since collaborated with a wide range of distinguished artists and composers, including mezzo-soprano Alexandra Gravas, flutist Jessica Quinones, and composers such as Dirk Brosse, Yorgos Vassilandonakis, Cindy Cox, and Richard Lavenda.

In 2019, the Trio composed and recorded the soundtrack for the documentary Y1: Silence of the Deep, and the Secret Dancing by Harald Weiss, which was dedicated to them, was published by Schott Editions. They have performed internationally in countries such as the U.S.A, China, Spain, Italy, Armenia, and the Netherlands, and at prominent festivals like the Athens & Epidaurus Festival.

Looking ahead, Galan Trio is also set to perform the seventh installment of their Kinesis project in the U.S. in 2025.

Kinesis, vol. 6

  • Packard Hall, Colorado College (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The Greek Music Ensemble “Galan Trio” performs in 3 distinguished universities in Colorado and Utah presenting new commissions in collaboration with prominent composition faculty.

Galan Trio’s project “Kinesis,” is a survey on the music of contemporary American composers in an original, multifaceted concert program. The project draws from a collaboration between Galan Trio and professors of composition from selected US Universities, and from the notion of “Kinesis.”  Kinesis is an undirected movement of a cell, organism, or part, in response to an external stimulus. In Greek, Kinesis means movement, motion. Motion is a fundamental characteristic of all living beings; motion is what all musicians worldwide have desired during the last couple of years; motion alludes to continuity and it’s a promise for the future of “Kinesis” itself.

The first edition of the project featured the work of five composers who contributed one original work for piano trio reflecting on the period of the pandemic. Galan Trio counts five U.S. editions of the project by now, in the East Coast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, South Central, Pacific Coast, and Western regions performing works by Yiorgos Vassilandonakis, Martin Gendelman, Matthew Greenbaum, Patricia Alessandrini, Pamela Madsen, Ken Steen, Alex Lubet, Navid Bargrizan, Larry Alan Smith and Richard Lavenda among others.

The latest edition features the works of Ofer Ben-Amots, David Volk, Ryan Seward, Andres Carrizo, Cindy Cox, and Miguel Chuaqui.

The Trinity Music Department presents a guest recital by the Galan Trio on Wednesday, March 22 at 7:30 p.m. in Ruth Taylor Recital Hall. The Trio will be premiering a piece by Dr. Brian Bondari. This performance is free and open to the public. 

Galan Trio was formed in December 2012, when 3 Greek soloists, Petros Bouras - piano, Dimitra Triantafyllou - violin and Marina Kolovou - cello, decided to play music together. Their common vision was to approach important pieces of the worldwide musical literature in a fresh and energetic way. Respecting the scores but reforming the academic way of performing, Galan Trio tries to express the substance of these pieces through their personal perspective and subsidiary by using different forms of art, such as video-art, lighting and dancing. Since September 2018, Babis Karasavvidis is the violinist of Galan Trio.
