Trio Tenso is a recorder trio that occupies itself with music from the Renaissance, the Baroque era and music from the 21st century. It consists of Katrin Felbermair, Leona Lenger and Johanna Unterpertinger who began studying together at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz in 2019 - first with Robert Finster, after his retirement in 2021 with Lea Sobbe. Their main goal lies in showcasing the variety of the recorder instruments and their repertoire of the last centuries.
Trio Tenso has received further impulses by Tabea Schwartz, Lydia Graber, Christine Gnigler, Amy Power and others. From the beginning of their studies, the three played together in different ensemble constellations. Since 2022, they are working together intensely as a trio. They performed at the Festival for Early Music Summa Sonorum (4x4, 2022; Gezwitscher, 2023; Aufregung im Zauberwald, 2025), at concerts they organized themselves (musica variopinta, Graz/St.Peter, Graz/Waltendorf; Ehrenhausen 2022; Gezwitscher, Brunico/Südtirol 2023). They were also part of the church concert Die Sinfonie Gottes hören on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Maria Luggau monastery garden in the Lesach Valley, Carinthia (2023).

musica variopinta
This programme was compiled to showcase the variety of the recorder repertoire. It consists of music from different time periods, mainly the Renaissance, French Baroque and contemporary music. During the working process, each piece was assigned a specific color, which, if possible, should be showcased during the performance. Together with the music, the background of the pieces will be explained.
Gezwitscher
"I sing as the bird sings, Who dwells in the branches; The song that comes from the throat, Is reward that is richly rewarding. [...]" - J. W. von Goethe (freely translated)
In this concept no birds sing, but recorders sound. Like many instruments, the recorder is associated with certain images - mostly pastoral nature scenes with birdsong in the background. Gezwitscher - Die Musik der Vögel (Chirping - The Music of Birds) puts this birdsong into the centre of attention and faces their singing in different time periods and countries.
Eine Chance für Renaissance
In this programme, the trio explores music from the 16th century: alongside hits from the period such as Doulce mémoire and Susanne un jour, lesser-known pieces and composers are also featured.
Harmony of the Ages – Between Polyphony and Basso Continuo
In this programme, we explore the question of how three-part pieces sounded around and after 1600. This transitional period features stylistic characteristics of the Renaissance, while at the same time highlighting the importance of the bass voice, which points to the beginning of the Baroque era. We explore music from different countries: three-part songs from Germany, English madrigals and Danish madrigals in the Italian style. We aim to highlight contrasts and similarities, as well as making audible the connection between the pieces through common themes such as love, faith and life on earth through our playing and programme design.
