Formed in 2021 at the Royal College of Music, the award-winning Astatine Trio has since emerged as one of the UK’s most exciting young ensembles. Their accolades include first prizes at the Birmingham International Piano Chamber Music Competition, the Virtuoso&Belcanto International Chamber Competition (Lucca, Italy) and the Senior Intercollegiate Piano Trio Competition in 2022, and they have performed extensively across the UK and abroad, including at Wigmore Hall, St George’s Bristol, Aldeburgh’s Jubilee Hall and the Harrogate Sunday Series. As Britten Pears Young Artists for the 2023/24 season, the trio made their debut appearance on BBC Radio 3 ‘In Tune’ in February 2024.
Since 2022 the trio has benefited from the mentorship of legendary pianist Alfred Brendel at his invitation. They have undertaken residencies at Snape Maltings and at the University of Cambridge, as part of ChamberStudio’s inaugural Hans Keller Forum, and from 2024 onwards will take part in masterclasses across Europe as part of the European Chamber Music Academy. The trio are also grateful for the mentorship of Richard Ireland, John Myerscough, Prach Boondiskulchok, Michał Kaznowski, Luc-Marie Aguera and Riccardo Cecchetti and have worked with Alasdair Beatson, Alina Ibragimova, David Waterman, Thomas Hoppe, Yovan Markovitch, Adrian Brendel, Peter Nagy, Krysia Osostowicz, Christoph Richter, Bruno Giuranna, Robin Ireland, the Gould Trio and the Busch Trio among others.
Passionate about new music, the trio was awarded the SEAM Prize for contemporary music at the 2023 Lyon International Chamber Competition, in which they were the youngest finalists. Upcoming projects include the premiere of a new piano trio by Tim Salter, which is being written especially for the group.
The trio are grateful for the support of ChamberStudio, the Piano Trio Society, Maggie Grimsdell (Music at Longhill Road), Philip Carne and the Nicholas Boas Charitable Trust.
