Violinist Frances Patterson, violist Suzanne Godet and cellist Joanna Stark.
Their programme will include a range of music influenced by dance, such as that by Ravel and Saint Saëns, alongside many folk-inspired pieces by composers from across Europe. Sit back and enjoy the sounds of No Borders Trio as they take you on an exciting musical journey!
No Borders is the fusion of three lively string players who share a passion to make a positive change in the classical music world and in society. They are committed to breaking down barriers through live music in diverse community settings, such as hospitals, care homes and arts venues across Scotland, bringing music to those who need it the most.
Frances (violin), Suzanne (viola) and Joanna (cello) studied together at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and started playing together when Frances called for volunteers to play at the dementia unit in Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH). The chemistry was so fruitful, and the demand for more concerts so strong that they decided to establish themselves as No Borders. The experience showed that the language of music could bring a real healing change in people’s lives.
They have been recipients of Glasgow UNESCO award scheme for their work at QEUH and joined the Live Music Now Scotland (LMNS) scheme in 2024. Joining LMNS is an excellent continuation of their journey, as it will help them grow their experience, create links with communities and provide visibility on their work as an established ensemble.
