About us
Terra Invisus are a contemporary music trio, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of music and performance through free improvisation and the development of new works. After meeting as students at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, the trio realised their shared love for improvisation, and had their debut in 2021 in the New Lights Festival. In 2022, Terra Invisus won the Gladys Puttick Prize for improvisation. Terra Invisus is a recipient of Colin Blythe Bursary.
COMMISSIONS
The trio is actively engaged in collaborations with both emerging and established composers, frequently commissioning new works for electrifying performances. In 2025, the trio commissioned Lithuanian composers Dominykas Digimas and Vilius Aleinikovas to create works inspired by one of the most celebrated Lithuanian artists, M.K Čiurlionis. These pieces formed part of the programme for Terra’s cross-cultural project 'Tarp Dviejų/Between Two', in which British and Lithuanian pieces were performed across Lithuania and the UK. This tour was made possible by funding from the Lithuanian Embassy, Nicholas Boas Trust, and crowdfunding.
RECORDINGS
In April 2024, Terra Invisus released their debut album 'Visions'. Featuring newly commissioned and pre-existing works by British composers including Martin Suckling, James Creed, and Jamie Elless, 'Visions' is a diverse exploration of composer-performer-improviser dynamics. In celebration of the release of their debut album, the trio embarked on a national tour in May 2024.
RESIDENCIES
As Ensemble-in-Residence at Clapham’s Omnibus Theatre (2024-2025), Terra Invisus held three concerts in the theatre, each one set in a different room of a house, with programmes designed to immerse the audience in these familiar surroundings. The trio experimented with set design, electronics, text scores, and audience participation pieces, fostering new connections with composers Patrick Ellis and Sarah Rahman.
As an expanded ensemble, Terra Invisus works as an Ensemble-in Residence at Trinity Laban under the name 'Rosalie Ensemble’ alongside flautist Mary Bull and violinist Andrew Liddell.
