Andrei Petrache - piano
Mike Alex - bass
Philip Goro - percution
Amphitrio is a project that was created in 2020, when members’ musical ideas and the group synergy became convergent, so that the three had the opportunity to materialise their musical plans. Pianist and composer Andrei Petrache, bassist Mike Alex and percussionist Philip Goron, form a trio with a solid background in classical and alternative music, the three being students or graduates of the Conservatory. The story behind this composition speaks of close friendships and the pleasure of singing and improvising in a well-welded formula, despite the fact that each of the three activates in multiple other projects simultaneously.
Their repertoire contains original pieces written by Andrei Petrache especially for this trio formula, in an area of modern jazz with influences from Nordic contemporary jazz and Balkan-oriental colours. Until now, the three have performed as Andrei Petrache Trio at festivals such as Jazz in the Park (2022, 2023), Sepsi Jazz&Blues Festival (2022), JazzX (2023), Oradea Festifall (2023) and have held many other jazz concerts, both in Bucharest and in the country. The trio's most recent achievement is winning the Best Composition award at the Jazz in the Park Competition (2023).
