Overview
Trio Concept was formed in 2013 by three musicians from Turin – Edoardo Grieco (violin), Francesco Massimino (cello), and Lorenzo Nguyen (piano) – who first came together as young artists. A decade later, and still in their mid-twenties, they are one of Italy’s most award-winning chamber ensembles with international debuts lined up for the foreseeable future.
In their special programme ‘Sounds of Europe, odes to freedom’, Trio Concept take a musical journey to explore borders and relationships, and question identity as a connecting and separating narrative. Music from Dvořák’s ‘Dumky’ Trio features alongside a Swedish Folk Song from Alba Rosa Viëtor, a March by Elgar and an Irish folk tune from Frank Martin. Their commissioned new work comes from Clemens K Thomas, a composer who looks to pressing issues of our time; and Ravel’s glorious Trio rounds off their celebration of freedom in musical diversity.
An hour-long Sunday morning concert, with coffee/tea and a slice of cake available beforehand, included in your ticket.
