True to its name, the International String Trio (IST) has honed an expansive repertoire embracing nearly a dozen styles from far-flung lands. Employing their instruments as passports, the trio's performances encompass a breathtaking range of styles, including Gypsy swing and jazz, old-time Appalachian laments, traditional Irish reels, celebratory klezmer, passionate tango, graceful French musette, and burning bluegrass.
Featuring Russian-born guitarist Slava Tolstoy, British violinist Ben Powell and American acoustic bassist Gerg Feingold, the IST's players embody its cosmopolitan aesthetic. While steeped in jazz, they play intricately arranged music that leaves room for improvisation without focusing on it.
Comfortable in intimate chamber settings, concert halls or large auditoriums, the IST performs up to 120 shows a year at the PAC's, festivals, jazz clubs, schools and universities. Recent performance highlights include a highly successful Northwest Tour, an appearance on the popular NPR show "Says You," performances at the Gypsy Jazz in Paradise Festival in Crested Butte, CO Yoshi's San Francisco and Scullers Jazz Club in Boston, MA.
