Formed in 2009, the internationally award-winning Fournier Trio has rapidly established itself as one of the leading young chamber ensembles in the UK.

Described by Classical Source as having “awesome but restrained technical ability and chamber-music antennae”, they were winners of the prestigious 2013 Parkhouse Award at Wigmore Hall, finalists at Hamburg in 2012 and were recipients of 2nd Prize and Audience Prize at the 6th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition in 2011. 

We are delighted to welcome them to Firth Hall this Autumn as part of Classics Uncovered to present a varied programme with trios by Haydn, Mendelssohn and Brahms.

Programme

Haydn Piano Trio in G major ‘Gypsy Rondo’, Hob.XV:25

Mendelssohn Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 49

Interval

Brahms Piano Trio No. 1 in B major, Op. 8 (revised version)
