The Ekleipsis Guitar Trio had their first encounter during a solar eclipse in 2017 and out of that celestial event emerged a new guitar trio. This Canadian classical guitar trio - Lukas Bouda, Mariette Stephenson and Andrew Laughton - meld their diverse musical backgrounds into an ensemble that is at home both in contemporary music and music from earlier eras. All three members have performed extensively as soloists and in other ensembles, both in Canada and internationally.

This ensemble is active in its aim to perform new music composed for guitar trio and have premiered works by acclaimed Canadian composers Boyd McDonald and Glenn Buhr. The trio are the recipients of a Region of Waterloo Arts Fund grant (2019) and will premiere new music by Ivana Quehl (Jokic), Andrzej Tereszkowski, Lukas Bouda, Andrew Laughton and Morgan Lovell in 2020.
