October 2021: U.S.A. “Kinesis”
“Kinesis” Project
”Kinesis” is Galan Trio’s attempt to explore the music of contemporary American composers by bringing their works together in an original, multifaceted concert program. The project is based on the collaboration between Galan Trio and professors of composition from selected US Universities.
Kinesis is an undirected movement of a cell, organism or part, in response to an external stimulus. In Greek, Kinesis means movement, motion. These two concepts were the project’s point of reference.
Watching the whole music world remain still due to the Pandemic, Galan Trio decided to create the stimulus for action. Discovering creative collaborators was the next step. Nickitas Demos, Martin Gendelman, Paul Richards, Scott Robbins and Yiorgos Vassilandonakis were exactly what the project was looking for, and each one of them contributed one original work for piano trio. The music, these great composers created, captured this “undirected movement” the trio was seeking after a long time of silence.
The Greek definition offered the main theme for the composers to work on. Motion is a fundamental characteristic of all living beings; motion is what all musicians worldwide have desired during the last couple of years; motion means continuity and it’s a promise for the future of “Kinesis” itself.
Galan Trio travels to the U.S.A. on October 2021 for performing “Kinesis” in Georgia, Florida and South Carolina and provide masterclasses to the students of the Universities.
