As the ensemble in residence at Mogens Dahl’s we have followed Trio con Brio Copenhagen since their remarkable breakthrough in 2008, and we are looking forward to yet another fantastic evening: Beethoven, Kurtág and Shostakovich with the trio’s well-known elegance. It doesn’t get much better.

In 2009 the trio has toured in Germany and the States, among other places. Performing at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., and at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt count as high points. They also recorded two CDs; music by Ravel, Dvořák and Bloch at American company Azica (Critic’s Choice in “American Record Guide”) and a brand new Mendelssohn CD at Danish company Classico. The trio’s impressive level of activity will continue into their 10th anniversary season, 2009 /10. A Beethoven cycle awaits both in Copenhagen and in Seoul, and the Brits can look forward to an extended visit by the gifted musicians, whose first, successful contact with the English took place at Wigmore Hall, May 2008.
