SR9 Trio

Founded in Lyon by Paul Changarnier, Nicolas Cousin et Alexandre Esperet, Trio SR9 shares its passion with a worldwide audience. After their curriculum at CNSMD Lyon within Jean Geoffroy and Henri-Charles Caget classes, the three friends decided to start this human and musical adventure together.

Since its First Prize at the 2012 International Trio Music Competition in Luxembourg (Public Choice Prize and Lalux Interpretation Prize), and as winner of the European Ensemble Music Contest FNAPEC 2012 and of the Banque Populaire Foundation in 2016, Trio SR9 established itself in the musical landscape with an incontestable recognition.

With such acquired experience, Trio SR9 started several new projects opening to a wide aesthetic range. Exploring varied repertoires, the ensemble gives its own three-marimbas version of masterpieces of the musical heritage (Bach, Mendelssohn, Stravinsky, Ravel...) and collaborates with several composers such as François Tashdjian, Florent Caron-Darras, Balint Karosi, Daniel Arango-Prada to create new opuses.

Their first spectacle, MACHINE(s), was created in 2015 with the composers Pierre Jodlowski and Benoit Montambault. This same year, Trio SR9 also gave their first representations of   C O R P O R E L S, a performance centered on the movement with multiple writing influences. In 2019, Trio SR9 goes back to writing with Simon Tanguy, choregrapher, on JUKEBOX, a performance mixing theater, dance and music.
