Franz Schubert: Pianotrio nr. 1 i B-dur, D 898
Trio Con Brio Copenhagen

“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.

OM FESTIVALEN
Lofoten Internasjonale Kammermusikkfest har som formål å bringe et variert program for klassisk musikk – fremført av internasjonale artister på høyt nivå – til  Lofoten. Gjennom 20 sommerutgaver og fem vinterutgaver har vi hatt konserter i hver eneste kirke i hele Lofoten. Fra Røst til Digermulen. Sommeren 2024 feiret vi vårt 20-årsjubileum.
Det er kammermusikk og pianomusikk fra Haydn (ca 1750) til nåtid som er fokus. Festivalen arrangeres hver sommer i andre uken av juli. Basen er i Svolvær, men konsertene foregår i rekke lokaler i både Vågan og Vestvågøy kommune.
