The Belgian Trio Dor was founded in 1992 by the Roumania-Belgian clarinettist Vlad Weverbergh and has since toured through Belgium, Rumania, Sweden, The Netherlands, South-Africa, Austria (with a highlight in the Viennese Konzerthaus) and the United Kingdom, where they performed for the BBC. In 2006 the ensemble recharged with new strength on alto, accordion and double bass. The own arrangements and interpretations are characterised and supported by interaction, improvisation and experiment; basically with a delight for playing. The Trio Dor repertoire rests on the personality and great virtuosity of each one of the four musicians. The specific and unique dynamics of the ensemble, which radiates an intense musical fun, guarantees a typical, inimitable sound. Energetic and inspiring.
