Amorsima Trio is comprised of violinist Mia Detwiler, violist Michael Capone, and cellist Kourtney Newton. The three met while members of the University of North Texas Nova Ensemble. Through their shared passion for new music, they founded Amorsima Trio in 2016 with the goal of performing both significant and lesser-known works of the last fifty years and expanding the repertoire of the string trio genre through a commitment to commissioning new works. Their name translates from Greek to “that which does not come from fate” and was inspired by the Xenakis work Morsima-Amorsima.
