About

The Trinity Trio was formed in 2013 at the University of Auckland School of Music. As a group they won the prestigious Pettman/ROSL Scholarship, which was hosted in New Zealand. This gave them the opportunity to give more than 12 concerts around the UK – including at the Edinburgh Festival, the Lake District Summer Music Festival and at St James's Piccadilly. While in London as part of their stay in the UK, the trio had the privilege of receiving lessons from members of the Fine Arts Quartet (Robert Cohen and Efim Boic), Jon Thorne, David Takeno, Michael Dusseck, Julian Jacobson, Renna Kellaway, Tamsin Waley-Cohen and Phillip Moore. When the trio was invited to perform at the Akaroa Music Festival in Christchurch in 2014, they met Tasana Nagavajara who invited them to Thailand to perform for the Siam Society in Bangkok, Pattaya and Khon Kaen, and in Hua-Hin for the New Zealand Embassy's 80th Anniversary Concert. Not long after their fantastic performance tour the Trinity Trio performed in the Chamber Music Competition in University of Auckland and reached the finals. In 2015 the trio went to music festivals in France, Germany and Italy. They also participated in the Brahms international chamber music competition in Pörtschach, Austria, received the highest mark in round one and reached the finals. In 2016, they are giving ten concert recitals through CMNZ encomppass tour.
