About Trio Abril
Formed in autumn 2021, Trio Abril brings together saxophonists Juani Palop and Arno Bornkamp and pianist Frank van de Laar. The ensemble explores the possibilities of two saxophones and piano through original works, transcriptions and new commissions.
The trio made its debut in Naarden in October 2022 with the premiere of Guillermo Lago’s Energía. It has since performed in the Netherlands and abroad, including at the World Saxophone Congress in Gran Canaria in 2023.
Repertoire
The repertoire combines transcriptions of Poulenc and Piazzolla with works written for the trio by Guillermo Lago, Santiago Báez, Carlos Micháns and Klaas de Vries. Exploring new colours and the dialogue between the two saxophones and the piano is at the heart of the ensemble’s work.
