About the Magic Violin Trio

In a story told through music, The Magic Violin Trio transport the listener through countries and cultures performing Eastern European and Balkan folk and Gypsy music. Influenced by musical traditions of old, the trio of strings and singer bring a fresh and charismatic feel to their performances.

The Trio, consisting of Gundula with her captivating vocals and violin, the dynamic Jeremy Halliwell on guitar, and Fraser Perry's soulful cello and backing vocals, was born amidst the challenges of 2020. Evolving from Gundula’s ensemble Tatcho Drom, the trio's birth was serendipitous, resulting from restrictions that allowed only three players in a space.

Gundula, when arranging pieces, seeks inspiration from ancient Balkan music traditions, working with sounds reminiscent of the tambura, oud, and balalaika. The Trio isn't confined by musical boundaries. They dabble in various genres from Silk Road and Ottoman eras, Nordic folk, Klezmer, to old-fashioned jazz tunes.
