Extraordinary Music. Exceptional people.
Ensemble Trivium is a dynamic chamber music collective of Brisbane’s leading musicians, built around a core group of
Monika Koerner (flute), Anne Horton (violin), and Yoko Okayasu (viola). ​
The ensemble is renowned for creating exhilarating concert experiences with warmth, flair and imagination,
weaving together timeless masterworks, contemporary gems, and world premieres
— often unearthing musical treasures that deserve to be heard.
Performances feature a variety of instrumentations such as flute and string trio, flute and string quartet, flute, strings & piano, flute, strings & harp, with the occasional addition of percussion, offering audiences a
fresh and captivating encounter at every turn.
Based in Brisbane, Ensemble Trivium presents a vibrant annual concert series at distinctive venues including the Elm House in Mt Glorious and the atmospheric Montville Village Hall in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
In 2024 the ensemble was invited to perform at the Orange Chamber Music Festival.
In 2017/18, Ensemble Trivium was awarded two Arts Queensland grants for their inaugural project “Locally Sourced,” which saw the world premiere of five newly commissioned pieces by well known Brisbane composers.
“Locally Sourced” delighted audiences with a unique fusion of jazz and classical elements with performances at
ABC Brisbane, Redland Performing Arts Centre, and Music By the Sea Series in Sandgate.
