Amphitrio is a contemporary jazz trio project initiated in 2020, when the three members had the
opportunity to materialise their musical plans in great synergy. Pianist and composer Andrei
Petrache, bassist Mike Alex and percussionist Philip Goron, form a trio with a solid background
in classical and alternative music. The story behind this composition speaks of close friendships and the pleasure of playing and
improvising in a well-welded formula, despite the fact that each of the three activates in multiple
other projects simultaneously.
Their repertoire contains original pieces written by Andrei Petrache in a genre area of modern
jazz with influences from Nordic contemporary jazz and Balkan-oriental colours.
With the release of their two debut albums, “Points” and “Seasons” (2023), Amphitrio began to
explore more and more sub-genres of the electro-groove area, continuing to expand their creative
horizons.
Until now, the three have performed as Andrei Petrache Trio at festivals such as Jazz in the Park
(2022, 2023), Sepsi Jazz&Blues Festival (2022), JazzX (2023), Oradea Festifall (2023),
JazzCave (2023) and have held many other jazz concerts, both in Bucharest and in the country.
The trio’s most recent achievement is winning the Best Composition award at the Jazz in the
Park Competition (2023).
