Critically acclaimed piano trio performs tonight

The Sitkovetsky Piano Trio have emerged as one of the leading trios of our day having won numerous awards and critical acclaim.

The first prizewinner of the International Commerzbank Chamber Music Award in 2008, they will be performing a passionate set at the Earl Cameron Theatre tonight as part of the Bermuda Festival of the Performing Arts.

The trio is made up of Alexander Sitkovetsky (from Russia) on violin, Wu Quian (from China) on piano and Leonard Elschenbroich (From Germany) on cello.
The musicians met at the Yehudi Menuhin School and founded the trio in 2007. They have since won numerous awards including the Philharmonia-Martin Chamber Music Award, the Kirckman Society Award, the Tillett Trust, and are supported by the Hattori Foundation, the Fidelio Trust, the Music Benevolent Fund and the Swiss Global Artistic Foundation. They held the Junior Fellowship at the Royal Academy of Music 2007-2008, and from 2008-2010, the trio were recipients of the Golubovich Fellowship and the Richard Cairnes Junior Fellowship for Chamber Music at the Trinity College of Music resulting in many performances and educational worships at the College and across London.

Sitkovetsky was recently accepted as a musician of the Chamber Music Society Two of the Lincoln Centre, New York.

They will be performing W A Mozart’s Trio in C Major, Johannes Brahms’ Trio No. 2 or No. 3 and Antonin Dvoråk’s Trio in F Minor. The programme is subject to change.
