Triple Forte was born in late 2003, and was an instant success: the trio performed over 35 concerts in its first active season, and immediately drew rave reviews for its high musicianship, dashing virtuosity and liveliness on stage. Tours have now taken them through Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Manitoba, and the Maritime provinces. In its few years of existence, Triple Forte has already recorded several broadcasts for CBC Radio, showcasing an already wide-ranging repertoire. Mr. Wood has eight solo and violin/piano CD recordings on many labels. He is a Professor of Violin at the University of British Columbia. Yegor Dyachkov appeared with major orchestras in such cities as Antwerp, Geneva, Montreal, Rio de Janeiro, Toronto and Vancouver, and has performed at numerous international festivals in Évian, Kronberg, Lanaudière, Ottawa and Tanglewood. A national and international prizewinner, David Jalbert has won two Opus Awards (from the Conseil Québécois de la Musique) and was the 2007 laureate of the prestigious Virginia Parker Prize of the Canada Council for the Arts. He is now a Professor on the Piano Faculty at the University of Ottawa.
