Trio Kagura is an international ensemble formed in Manchester, uniting musicians from Japan, Lithuania, and New Zealand. The name “Kagura” is derived from the Japanese tradition of ritual music and dance, performed to bring joy and peace to the community – a fitting representation of the trio’s mission to connect and inspire through music.
Trio Kagura is an acclaimed ensemble that performs regularly across the UK and Europe. Highlights include being awarded a residency as Britten-Pears Young Artists for 2024-2025 at Snape Maltings, a concert tour of New Zealand, as well as an invitation to teach and perform at the Kamermuziek Atelier Delft.
Known for their dynamic performances and innovative programming, the trio has been invited to perform at several prestigious chamber music festivals, including the Akademie Telč festival in the Czech Republic and the Chamber Music in Lavethan festival in Cornwall. With a rich and varied musical path ahead, Trio Kagura continues to captivate audiences with their expressive performances and commitment to pushing the boundaries of chamber music.
