The Holland Trio
Consisting of Josje ter Haar, Susanne van Els and Job ter Haar, The Holland Trio was formed in 1985.
At the time, the three string players were students at the Royal Conservatoire in the Netherlands. They took lessons with Eli Goren, among others, and they quickly developed into a skilled ensemble with a large repertoire. They produced CDs and made live recordings, performed with soloists and in larger ensemble contexts, undertook artistic adventures and were in great demand at home and abroad. Their dedication to new music was very common to them but at the same time distinctive. At the first Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition in 1991, where they won 3rd prize, they played David Joseph's trio. The Trio has since disbanded.

Through Tropical Stars
David Joseph’s Through Tropical Stars gathers five chamber works inspired by the natural world. From the garden-like imagery of Concertino to the quiet melancholy of The Afternoon, the music brings nature’s textures, patterns and sounds into focus.
