Agape Trio is an improvised music unit composed of master baritone saxophonist Alex Harding, noted bassist/multi-instrumentalist Joel Peterson and rising-star percussionist David Hurley. Formed in 2020, Agape Trio made its debut playing in the roll-up, loading bay door in the kitchen of Detroit art space Trinosophes, to an audience seated on the brick back alley. Their combination of effusive warmth, intense energy, blues and folk-form allusions and abstract polyphony carves a distinct space among contemporary improvising groups and has earned them an enthusiastic regional following. Having played many institutions of and festivals like Ann Arbor’s Edge Fest, Agape Trio makes its first foray into the wider world with a tour in March of 2025.
