This was our first concert as an ensemble. We were remembering the times of the WW1 as well as the death of the great Pyotr Tchaikovsky, who passed away on the 6th of November 1893, and in whose memory the Trio was written.

Cellist Lydia Hillerudh, violinist Patrycja Mynarska and pianist Aleksandra Myslek met in London, where they frequently crossed paths and performed together in different configurations before deciding to form a piano trio. Patrycja graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, whereas both Lydia and Aleksandra studied at the Royal Academy of Music; their different student experiences allowed them to enrich their artistic relationship. The group has a unique dynamic and conviction in their interpretations brought by their experience as prize-winning soloists as well as their versatile non-soloist profiles. Lydia is a committed teacher and a member of the innovative Tritium clarinet trio, which is sought-after for its creativity and outstanding capability to play unusual repertoire, Patrycja cooperates with both the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Aleksandra specialises in duo work with violin while being constantly involved in research on performance, music history and social issues regarding the arts. The trio members were inspired by many prominent figures including György Pauk, Robert Cohen, Hamish Milne, Leon Fleisher, Ferenc Rados, Mats Lidström, Rodney Friend, András Keller, and Jerome Lowenthal- to name just a few that helped them shape their personalities. All members of the trio are actively involved in outreach work, will it be teaching or performance for the less privileged, and they are eager to disseminate the great repertoire that they are passionate about by communicating with all kinds of audiences and providing the highest artistic standard.
