The Art Deco Trio performs classical and popular music with a jazz influence. They combine the materials and textures of the classical repertoire with the rhythms and harmonies of jazz. Like the Art Deco style, their music mixes elegance and clean lines with exuberance and bold colours. The trio is made up of three friends and colleagues, who have performed together in numerous ensembles at many of the leading UK venues, and have individually worked with many other country's leading orchestras and conductors. They have recorded an album of new Gershwin arrangements for SOMM Recordings, called Gershwinicity. Selections of the album have featured on BBC Radio Three, La Scala Radio, RTE Lyric FM, France Musique. Their second album, called Classical Changes, features jazz-inspired arrangements of Classical favourites.
