Trelumina Trio

Trelumina Trio

with members Alicia Kosack, Kimberly Buchar Kelley, and Rebecca Wilt, enjoys performing repertoire from baroque to contemporary. The trio is especially committed to performing, commissioning and expanding the literature for this unique combination of instruments, and makes a point to include works on each concert by contemporary, American composers. In addition to performing works originally written for flute, bassoon and piano, Trelumina also enjoys transcribing works written for other instrument combinations and including these works in their expanding wealth of repertoire.

Trelumina has had dramatic success performing recitals and presenting master classes to performers, educators, and students throughout the United States. Receiving regional and national recognition, recent performances have included the Mid-Atlantic Flute Fair, Strathmore Performing Arts Center and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The trio's first CD, Pastorale, was recently released and includes a variety of works written and transcribed for the group.
