With their special combination of saxophone (Peter Verdonck), clarinet (Marco A.Mazzini) and piano (Ward De Vleeschhouwer) the members of the Thelema Trio go far beyond the boundaries of their classical training at the Conservatory of Ghent. The trio likes to play avant-garde, jazz, free improvisation and folk music as well as being open to any new challenge. The ensemble has a unique sound quality that bears memories of the trio’s contrasting backgrounds as well as their travels around the world. It ranges across a wide gamut from intimacy and emotion to the energetic and powerful idiom of contemporary music. In this way they became the voice of many international composers. Ever since their founding in 2003 they have been performing not only all over Belgium, but also in Holland, Italy, Peru, Japan, and the USA.
