About
Strijktrio Laag is a string trio with a twist: no violins at all. Instead you get Jan Erik van Regteren Altena on viola, Susanne Degerfors on cello and Pieter Smithuijsen on double bass, so the whole group sits in the low end of the string family. There's a practical reason the trio does a lot of arranging. Hardly any music has been written for this combination over the centuries, maybe a handful of pieces in total, so the players have had to build most of their repertoire themselves. They're convinced that this lineup can carry a good programme without a single violin in sight, and they play like they mean it.
