Are We Nature

This percussion trio addresses a pressing and urgent issue in spectacular fashion: how should we relate to nature? Are we still part of it at all? The Kāna Trio wades through human noise and pollution in search of a clear answer. “They play together flawlessly, powerful yet never too loud,” said the jury of Dutch Classical Talent, the competition they convincingly won in 2025.

Powerful Subtlety
The theme of climate change lends itself to overwhelming percussion. Yet amid the spectacle, the percussionists never overpower themselves.

“The jury was impressed by the mesmerizing (…) interplay. The palette ranged from whisper-soft marimba rustling to the most ominous jungle violence.”

The Kāna Trio won the Grachtenfestival Conservatorium Concours in 2022, and that jury, too, emphasized their subtlety.
