The folk/classical ensemble, Trio Chuva, bring their blend of punchy Balkan grooves and reimagined classical works. Whilst studying at the Royal Northern College of Music, the trio discovered a shared passion for chamber and folk. Borna originally hails from Croatia, George from England and Rafael from Latin America. The result is an interesting mix of different musical backgrounds and cultures, and an overall desire to explore music from all over the world. The trio takes influence from other musical genres in their own arrangements of traditional Balkan songs; incorporating elements of collective improvisation and soloing.
