Track3 is a clarinet-viola-piano trio dedicated to performing works of the 20th and 21st centuries. The three musicians, who hail from Taiwan, Estonia, and the USA, have extensive experience in classical and contemporary music, both as soloists and in chamber music.

In 2025, Track3 was an Ensemble-in-Residence at the impuls Festival in Graz, where the trio worked intensively with composer Clara Iannotta as their mentor, and premiered works by Giuseppe Franza, Shiwei Liu and Michele Selvaggi. Additional performance highlights include the world premiere of Jesper Nordin’s work, “Frozen Still Trio” at the Magazin-Festival in Hanover. Upcoming performances include appearances at Hörfest Neue Musik in Detmold, the “Voraushören” concert series in Frankfurt, and premieres of works by Hanurij Lee and Robin Völbel.

The trio has received guidance from members of Klangforum Wien, Ensemble Modern, and Quatuor Diotima. The musicians of Track3 have premiered new works at international music festivals, including the Lucerne Festival (Switzerland), Gaudeamus Festival (Netherlands), BBC Proms (UK), Afekt Festival (Estonia), and Daegu International Contemporary Music Festival (South Korea).

Track3 plans to continue developing and commissioning new works to expand the repertoire for this instrumentation from as diverse a range of compositional voices as possible.
