about
Founded in 2007 by classical composer Harlan Glotzer, the Toy-Box Trio is devoted to helping audiences experience through-composed music in an entirely different way. The pairing of concertina, toy piano, and tuba is reminiscent of the classical piano trio — a staple in chamber repertoire — but able to extend into the 21st century by creating a sonic landscape evocative of dusty old music boxes and haunted carnivals. Sarah Shay of Jew-ish.com describes the trio's sound as "...Charmingly quirky music that shifts from whimsical to creepy, from lullabies to marches, it is the soundtrack to a forgotten circus, a broken childhood memory, a magic music box full of dust and wonder." Toy-Box Trio is committed to approaching time-worn ideas and concepts from unexpected, non-traditional, and rarely-used angles. The trio fills the space between carnivals, circuses, and classical chamber ensembles, creating a fanciful sonic atmosphere.
