Astria Oboe Trio

Eric Speller, Yf Bourry and Dimitri Mestdag founded the Astria Oboe Trio in 2009.

The three soloists, who have many national and international awards to their credit, perform a little-known repertoire that extends from the baroque period through contemporary compositions. The unique richness of sound, created by a combination of oboe, oboe d'amore and cor anglais, offers countless shades of sound and is an abiding source of inspiration for contemporary composers.
