About Trois

Trois trio was founded by Emma Hunt, clarinettist, and Heather Shannon, pianist, in 2009 to share their passion for chamber music. In the following years Trois trio won places at McDonald’s performing arts eisteddfod, performed at multiple functions and gave several sold out recitals across Sydney. Over the last 6 years Trois has evolved to include several new flautists and pianists, all of whom have added a new musical dimension to the trio. Currently the trio is back to the original founding members, Emma and Heather, with the exciting addition of Emma Lefroy, flautist.
