Our Mission
"Elevated themselves into those elite ranks alongside Yarn/Wire, Sō Percussion, Tigue, Iktus and Ensemble Et Al", as described by the New York Music Daily, Pathos Trio (percussionists Marcelina Suchocka, Felix Reyes, and pianist/composer Will Healy) is a two percussion and piano trio committed to combining aesthetics of contemporary classical music with their interests in dark, heavy, dense sounds drawn from various genres of music such as alternative rock, progressive/black metal, cathedral music, minimalist music, electronic synth-wave, and more, while also aiming to bring adventurous music to audiences through collaborations with young, living new music composers.
Their accolades include winning 1st place in the 2023 American Prize in Virtual Performance, being Semi Finalists for Concert Artist Guild's 2022 Victor Elmaleh Virtual Competition, 2021 & 2022 Ensemble Forward Grantees from Chamber Music America, and receiving over the years project support from various national music organizations and New York State sources of funding such as New Music USA, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Johnstone Fund for New Music, Amphion Foundation, Alice Ditson Fund, and New York State Council for the Arts, amongst others.
Whether performing at major venues across the U.S., giving masterclasses and educational workshops, or creating exciting collaborative chamber music projects with musicians across New York City, when brought together Pathos Trio is a tor de force to be reckoned with.
Here’s a clip of composer Finola Merivale talking about our 2019 residency at Avaloch Farm Music Institute, where we collaborated with her on creating a new work called oblivious/oblivion that was a part of our first full length album called “When Dark Sounds Collide”, that features this commission and other newly commissioned works by composers Alan Hankers, Evan Chapman, Alison Yun-Fei Jiang, and Alyssa Weinberg. This album released on March 18th, 2022 through New Focus Recordings.
Support our ensemble
It all began with an idea to form a group. And from that idea we’ve now built up an organization to where we can now fully realize our ambitions and projects as a chamber music trio. Whether it’s to commission new works by young composers, to recording music videos and albums, or give masterclasses and educational workshops, your contribution no matter how big or small can make all the difference in helping us achieve our goals.
