TRIO CANDOR
Ensemble. Passion. Virtuosity. Depth.
Trio Candor consists of three internationally renowned musicians: violinist Lisa Jacobs, violist Lech Antonio Uszinsky, and cellist Christopher Jepson. They are known for their expressive, honest, and profound interpretations.
Their name, Candor (Latin for openness and honesty), reflects their pursuit of a pure and sincere musical experience. It also characterizes their way of working together—open-minded, with great respect for one another, but also with courage and a good sense of humor.
Driven by their intrinsic desire for deep artistic exploration, they work on a maximum of two new pieces per season, allowing them to move freely and fully immerse themselves in their interpretations.
Lisa Jacobs is an award-winning violinist of international acclaim. She performs as a soloist with leading orchestras, shines at prestigious festivals, and plays a rare Rogeri violin from 1692.
In addition, she is a professor at the Royal Conservatories of The Hague and Ghent (Belgium) and serves as artistic director of the Zeeland Klassiek Festival and The String Soloists.
Lech Antonio Uszynski (Poland/Switzerland) is praised for his warm tone and expressive playing. He is the Violist of the Stradivari Quartet and performs regulary as soloist and chamber musician in prestigious venues worldwide. In addition to his wide stylistic range as a performer, he is also passionate about teaching and is Professor of Viola at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague.
Christopher Jepson is the 2. Solo Cellist of the Sinfonieorchester Basel. His playing stands out for its remarkable sensitivity in ensemble performance. Besides his work in Basel, he is closely involved with the Gstaad Menuhin Festival during the summer, where he has been playing as principal cellist for 13 years. He is professor of cello at the British isles Music Festival, where he is also on the board of directors.
In their programming, Trio Candor strives for innovative artistic expression by collaborating with other art forms. Their multidisciplinary projects connect classical music with literature and visual arts, creating an even deeper sensory experience.
