Education and Outreach
Education and outreach work has been an integral part of The Thorne Trio's development since the ensemble's
formation in 1999. The audience-friendly presentation that characterised the trio's performances from the outset,
allowed them to develop an approach which attempts to break down barriers - musically, culturally and socially.
The Trio has worked with children as young as eight months through to groups of disadvantaged teenagers, with
adolescents in hospital, and with the elderly. Artistically there is no compromise in their work: accessibility
does not involve dumbing down. Whether it's Mozart or Ibert, Gershwin or a nursery tune, the only criterion
for inclusion in a Thorne Trio project is enthusiasm.
