Trio Catch welcomes Martin Adámek as its new member
New and exciting changes are always underway, and this summer is no exception for Trio Catch. Clarinettist Boglárka Pecze, who is a founding member of Trio Catch, helping to shape the group for the past 12 years, has decided to go her own professional path effective this summer.
“When Sun-Young Nam and I came up with the idea of starting a trio 12 years ago with this rather rare instrumentation, we were viewed with skepticism. But we made it together, the three of us. We worked through thick and thin and were there for each other both musically and personally. We are fortunate to have given numerous world premieres, recorded CDs and received many prizes that mark our mutual success. Thank you very much for these unforgettable years. However, the time has come for me to break new ground in the music industry. I wish the trio all the best in the future and success with the new team member!” Boglárka Pecze
Eva Boesch and Sun-Young Nam would like to thank Boglárka Pecze for such an enriching time spent together and wish her all the best from the bottom of their hearts. “We are very happy to have found an exceptional clarinetist, Martin Adámek, who will join us as the new member of Trio Catch! The young Slovak clarinetist already has a successful career as a soloist, chamber and orchestral musician. At the age of 19 he was appointed solo clarinetist of the Ensemble Intercontemporain and is considered one of the most versatile clarinetists of his generation.”
The trio is excited for this new collaboration and looks forward to expanding the repertoire, networking internationally and maintaining existing repertoire.
From the first rehearsal together, Martin Adámek was enthusiastic about the qualities of Trio Catch as a great chamber music collaboration: “I am delighted to be chosen as the new clarinetist for this wonderful group. Over the past decade, the trio has repeatedly demonstrated that they are not only masters of many contemporary works, but are also at home in the classical repertoire. Trio Catch has an excellent reputation and I'm really looking forward to future tours and projects. I am excited and curious about new collaborations with composers in order to continue developing the repertoire for this instrumentation in the coming years.” Martin Adámek
All three musicians are looking forward to next season when they will inaugurate the new formation during their first official concert together on November 24, 2022 in Brussels as part of the Ars Musica Festival.
