Trio Contrasti
Biography Trio Contrasti
Trio Contrasti:
The piano trio Contrasti is a unique ensemble made up of three young musicians, from Armenia, Russia, and China. These extraordinary personalities bring not only the cultural traditions and mindsets of their home countries to the group, but also their contrasting temperaments, which blend into a fascinating musical style. Founded in the spring of 2021, the trio had already reached the final of the „hmt-Musikpreis“ competition by the summer. In autumn of 2021 they thrilled the audience at the final concert of the chamber music festival ‘Als die Stunden still Standen’ (As the Hours Stood Still) in Rostock.
Since April 2022 the trio ‘Contrasti’ has continued to hone their ability at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg, studying for a master’s degree in chamber music under the tutelage of Prof. Niklas Schmidt. Carefully selected repertoire and concert programmes make Contrasti an inspiring example of how musicians of varied cultures can bring music from different countries and eras to life with their performance ability.
