ABOUT THE PIECE:
"Home/Gone is a piece inspired by the unsettling feeling of my auto-correct switching the word “home” to “gone”. A meditation on impermanence, Home/Gone, written for 2 percussionists, a pianist, and an electronic track pre-recorded by the Pathos Trio, gives the listener a taste of something familiar (Home) and gradually takes it away (Gone). That unsettling deconstruction of what we began with gets replaced by something more distorted and complex, but potentially beautiful."

- Clara Warnaar

ABOUT THE PERFORMERS:
"Elevated themselves into those elite ranks alongside Yarn/Wire, Sō Percussion, Tigue, Iktus and Ensemble Et Al", as described by the New York Music Daily, Pathos Trio (percussionists Marcelina Suchocka, Felix Reyes, and pianist/composer Will Healy) is a two percussion and piano trio committed to combining aesthetics of contemporary classical music with their interests in dark, heavy, dense sounds drawn from various genres of music such as alternative rock, progressive/black metal, cathedral music, minimalist music, electronic synth-wave, and more, while also aiming to bring adventurous music to audiences through collaborations with young, living new music composers.

Their accolades include being Semi Finalists for Concert Artist Guild's 2022 Victor Elmaleh Virtual Competition, 2021 & 2022 Ensemble Forward Grantees from Chamber Music America, and receiving over the years project support from various national music organizations and New York State sources of funding such as New Music USA, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Johnstone Fund for New Music, Amphion Foundation, and New York State Council for the Arts, amongst others.

Their current project “Polarity”, will be the ensemble’s second studio album, which will contain 6 newly commissioned works written by composers Paul Mortilla, Andrew Rodriguez, Ian Chang (from Oscar winning ensemble Son Lux), Clara Warnaar, Phong Tran, and Vicente Hansen Atria. Audio for the album was recorded by Grammy ®-nominated Audio Engineer Ryan Streber and the music videos for each track on this album was recorded by Philadelphia based film company Four/Ten Media, who has worked with several Grammy ®-nominated artists. This album will release on September 15th, 2023, and is graciously supported by New Music USA, Amphion Foundation, and Chamber Music America, Pathos Trio being a recipient of a Chamber Music America Recording Grant, made possible with generous support from the New York Community Trust.
