"Kindling" ensemble brings together American percussionist and marimba player Sky Pearson and Swiss violinist Mike Perroud, united by a shared ambition: to explore a varied repertoire and combine timbres of two instruments from contrasting periods in music history.

Aiming to share a wide spectrum of classical music to audiences, whether familiar with the repertoire or not, the trio’s distinctive approach has led to thematic programs (100% violon; Mouvements de concert; Europe de l’Est) which reimagine major works from the classical violin tradition while preserving its essence.
