Trio CZW Formed in 2019, Trio CZW brings together the rich backgrounds of its musicians.
Trio CZW are Maureen Wolloshin (oboe and cor anglais), Paul Cheneour (flutes), and Alistair Zaldua (e-violin).
The work of all three soloists is critically acclaimed. This is a rare opportunity to hear them together.
