Trio Vier draws inspiration from a dynamic combination of musical genres, including new music,
free improvisation, classical chamber music and contemporary jazz, to form a distinct melodic
language all of its own.
The versatility of Trio Vier extends beyond genre boundaries, and the collaboration with other artistic disciplines gives the music an additional dimension. In cooperation with the SETanztheater, commissioned compositions are written especially for the dance ensemble’s choreographies. The collaboration with “Loulou” resulted in the commissioned work “Loulou & die Verführten des Teufels”, a staged chamber opera that premiered at Konzerthaus Berlin in 2020.
In February 2024, the ensemble released its first album “Zolo”.
Rebekka Wagner received her first violin lessons at the age of five. Influenced by lessons with Hildegard Wind, she completed her violin studies at the Nuremberg University of Music in 2013 with distinction.
What she likes best about her instrument is its wide musical range and versatility, which is why many different projects find their place in her artistic work.
On the one hand, there are projects with the Ventuno Orchestra or work with the International Foundation for the Promotion of Culture and Civilization. On the other hand, she plays in various rock and blues formations, such as Oporto or The See See Riders. Since the beginning of her studies she has been teaching at different schools in the Franconian area.

Deutschlandstipendium and has been a boardmember of the Orchester Ventuno since 2020.
