We're for hire!
How often does it happen that the Bassethorn parts in Mozart's Requiem and Gran Partita are filled in by regular clarinets instead of basset horns. For a reasonable price, you can hire us to perform these parts on basset horns with orchestra or ensemble. Of course, we can also provide a full program with the trio.

René Koller
Das Bassethorn Trio Artire wurde 2022 auf Initiative von René Koller zusammen mit zwei befreundeten Klarinettisten, die ebenfalls das Bassethorn spielen, gegründet. Sie beschlossen, die für diese Kombination bekannte Musik aufzuführen. Das Bassethorn gehört zur Familie der Klarinetten und liegt vom Tonumfang her zwischen der normalen B-Klarinette und der Bassklarinette, ist also eine Art Altstimme. Das Instrument war im 18. Jahrhundert besser bekannt als heute. Glücklicherweise ist das Interesse an diesem schönen Instrument seit den 1980er Jahren wieder gestiegen.
Chroma vocal ensemble
This ensemble consists of singers who all have extensive, shared, experience in both choral music and in the solo and chamber music repertoire.
Artire's invitation to sing Mozart's Notturni together brought them together as an ensemble
