“Glowing reports hold true. The Trio con Brio Copenhagen clearly occupies a lofty perch in today’s musical scene.” – Washington Post

“From the first note, Trio con Brio exudes class … both explosive and exquisitely intimate – aspects that this performance delivers with compelling panache.” – The Strad

Acknowledged as one of the finest piano trios in the world, the Trio con Brio Copenhagen is about to enter a banner year – 2019 will mark their twentieth anniversary. For a group that views each new year as a call to deepen and enrich their interpretations, it seems a fitting time to take their measure of one of the supreme journeys a piano trio can take; starting in May 2018, Orchid Classics will be releasing their multi-volume traversal of the complete Beethoven Piano Trios.

The Trio was born out of an idea of the coming together of ‘musical pairs’ – of the two Korean-born sisters, Soo-Kyung Hong (cello) and Soo-Jin Hong (violin), with Soo-Kyung and her husband, Danish pianist Jens Elvekjaer. They quickly gained a reputation for their fresh and contemporary approach to the core repertoire. “Works by Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms are transformed in their hands into the alive-and-kicking music of today” said Danish Broadcasting’s Esben Tange. Winning almost all of the major competitions for piano trio – including the ARD (Munich), Vittorio Gui (Florence), Trondheim Competition (Norway), Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson (USA), Allianz Prize (Germany) and the prestigious “P2 Artists Prize” (Denmark) – they are regularly heard at the world’s leading venues and concert series. Among these, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Wigmore Hall, Berlin Pierre Boulez-Saal, Concertgebouw, Elphilharmonie Hamburg, Seoul Arts Centre, Louvre Paris and of course their beloved “home venues”, the Royal Library and the Tivoli Concert Hall, in Copenhagen.

Trio con Brio Copenhagen

Chamber Music at Lundsgaard is a vibrant meeting place for classical music, people and ideas. Here, some of today’s most inspiring musicians gather to explore the richness of chamber music – from classical masterpieces to new and curious sound worlds.

This year’s festival theme is Authenticity. What does it mean to be authentic in music? Is it fidelity to the score, to the composer, to tradition – or to the moment and the personal voice? Through concerts, conversations and artistic encounters, we invite the audience to join this exploration of what is genuine, sincere and alive in music.

At Lundsgaard, we aim to bring the music very close – in historic spaces, in nature, and in the meeting between words and tones. Here, chamber music is not only an art form, but a shared language that connects people across time, place and experience.

We look forward to welcoming you to a festival full of intensity, immersion and authentic moments that will linger long after the last note has faded.
