Terzina - Biography

The group met during their postgraduate studies in London in 2001, and have played together regularly since then. They have given recitals, played for weddings, functions and corporate events and have played internationally providing entertainment on cruise ships.

The girls of Terzina, Claire Capps, Helen Neilson and Zoe Rogers have given full recitals at prominent London venues, including St James’ Church, Piccadilly and Southwark Cathedral. They performed in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2003. For these concerts their programmes included works by Beethoven, Brahms and Glinka, all of which are written specifically for this combination of clarinet, cello and piano.

Terzina has proved a favourite with audiences touring around the world on board the Minerva II, with Swan Hellenic cruises. The group was recently awarded the top ratings for classical musicians performing on board this year. Their cruising adventures have taken them to Turkey, Greece, Croatia, Italy, Panama, Equador, Peru and Chile. For this they provided mixed programmes including classical favourites, songs from the shows, traditional music from the areas visited and arrangements of popular songs.

Terzina is frequently invited to play at weddings, functions and corporate events. During wedding celebrations they are available to play during the ceremony as well as afterwards at the reception celebrations. For parties, they can perform pieces in a formal setting as you wish, or indeed simply play in the background, adding to the atmosphere of your event. For corporate events, you may wish to request a specific piece of music which has perhaps been used to advertise your company, or choose one which you feel reflects the ethos and spirit of your business.
