The Willow Trio are a Glasgow-based clarsach trio consisting of Maya MacAdam, Sophie Rocks and Romy Wymer, established in 2020. The trio plays music ranging from classical to traditional to their own original contemporary compositions. They have performed at festivals such as Kelburn Garden Party, Glasgow's West End Festival, and Edinburgh Festival Fringe and regularly tour small and rural venues throughout the UK. They're also part of the Live Music Now Scotland scheme.
Projects include their debut EP 'Oystercatchers', which released in 2021, and their 2023 album 'the Swan of Salen', which accompanies a ballet production merging Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake with Gaelic culture, folklore and music.
Their latest album, 'the Bestiary', released in February 2026, and is filled with new compositions that push the possibilities of the three-harp instrumentation.
Out-with the trio, each member follows a diverse career – multi-instrumentalist Maya MacAdam writes and performs as Maya's Radio Orchestra, and plays with Catalyst Symphony and the Sleekit Beasties. Composer, teacher and performer Romy Wymer plays with a range of local artists and is writing new works for her instrument. Sophie Rocks works as a performer, programmer and curator with a passion for bringing band new music to the forefront in both public and community settings.
