ARTIST PROFILE
PATHOS TRIO
“Elevated themselves into those elite ranks alongside Yarn/Wire, Sō Percussion, Tigue, Iktus and Ensemble Et Al”, as described by the New York Music Daily, Pathos Trio (percussionists Marcelina Suchocka, Felix Reyes, and pianist/composer Will Healy) is a two percussion and piano trio committed to combining aesthetics of contemporary classical music with their interests in dark, heavy, dense sounds drawn from various genres of music such as alternative rock, progressive/black metal, cathedral music, minimalist music, electronic synthwave, and more, while also aiming to bring adventurous music to audiences through collaborations with young, living new music composers.
Their accolades include being Semi Finalists for Concert Artist Guild’s 2022 Victor Elmaleh Virtual Competition, 2021 & 2022 Ensemble Forward Grantees and 2025 Classical Commissioning Responsive Shift Grantees from Chamber Music America, 2025 New Music USA Organizational Fund grantees, and they’ve received over the years project support from various sources of funding such as Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Johnstone Fund for New Music, Amphion Foundation, Alice M. Ditson Fund, National Endowment for the Arts, American Composers Alliance, and New York State Council for the Arts, amongst others.
Their current 2025 -2026 season activities include touring for various residencies at Princeton University, Duquesne University, West Virginia University, George Mason University, among other music programs premiering work of student composers at each of those schools, working on their third studio album set to release in Fall 2026, and working on premieres of new commissions by Jeff Snyder, Sasha Berliner, and Eliza Bagg.
