By: The Ekaterinburg Classical Trio This unique classical ensemble was born in the summer of 1998 in Ekaterinburg, Ural, Russia. Vasil, Victoria, and Vladislav, all graduates of the Ural State Conservatory, decided to take their love of music and their piano-violin-clarinet arrangements to festivals and concert venues throughout Ural. They spent much of that summer playing to enthusiastic audiences in town halls and indoor stages. The audience feedback was encouraging, even inspiring, all the while reinforcing the overpowering feeling that their calling is to take their new impressions of classical music and their heartfelt performances to a much greater audience.
