"Prepare to be amazed! It’s no exaggeration to say that anyone who listens to this CD will indeed be amazed, because here the name says it all. TrioColores (‘Colors’), newly crowned OPUS Klassik award winner, has made it its mission to explore the full richness of colors found in so-called barred percussion instruments, also known as mallet instruments." - Guido Krawinkel (feuilleton scout) translated from german
"Sensitivity of touch and an ear for timbre and colour bring a sense of timbral magical to these reinventions of French music for a group playing marimbas, vibraphones and glockenspiels. [...] This is a completely magical disc. The trio find the wonder in the colours and timbres of a huge range of sounds, and each movement of each work is not only enchanting but takes us on a journey into different aspects of the composers' originals." - Planet Hugill (Planet Hugill, a world of classical music)
We are incredibly happy to have received so many supportive and positive reviews for En Couleur. It means a great deal to us to read that our aim of developing a new sound language on mallet instruments resonates so strongly with our listeners.

We are thrilled to share very special news with you: our debut album “EnCouleur” has been awarded the prestigious OPUS KLASSIK – in the category “Classical Music Without Borders”!
This award means the world to us. As a percussion ensemble, we operate in a niche within classical music. That makes it all the more moving for us to have convinced such a distinguished jury with our project. It’s a powerful sign that percussion instruments deserve their place on the great stages of the classical world.
Our album “EnCouleur” is the result of five years of intensive work. It features arrangements of French works by composers such as Debussy, Ravel, Saint-Saëns, Milhaud, and Tailleferre – all reimagined for so-called mallet instruments: marimbas, vibraphones, and glockenspiels. Our goal was to transfer the rich palette of these compositions into the world of percussion and open up new sonic landscapes.
The album was released in October 2024 on Solo Musica (SM467), and we’re overjoyed by the warm reception it has received – both from the public and now through this special recognition from OPUS KLASSIK.
We want to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you – to all our companions, supporters, friends, and patrons who have accompanied and encouraged us over the years. Without your enthusiasm, trust, and help, this milestone in our career would have been very difficult to reach.

With great joy and heart,
