Formed in 2012, the Leonore Trio brings together three internationally acclaimed artists whose piano trio performances as part of Ensemble 360 were met with such an enthusiastic response that they decided to form a piano trio in its own right.
The Trio has since given concerts throughout the UK, Italy, Norway (Bergen International Festival and Oslo Concert Hall), Denmark and in New Zealand. Whilst in New Zealand they played to and coached a group of young musicians as part of the Sistema Aotearoa programme, and were adjudicators of the Royal Over-Seas League New Zealand Chamber Music Competition. Their concert in Hamilton was broadcast on Radio New Zealand.
The Trio’s debut recording for Hyperion of the piano trios of Anton Arensky was released in March 2014. The disc received critical acclaim both nationally and internationally with praise for the Trio’s "revelatory playing" (The Observer) and “impressively wide range of timbres” (Limelight Magazine). Their second disc – a recording of Lalo’s piano trios – was released in 2015. It was described as ‘remarkable’ and ‘terrific’. In late January 2017, the Leonore Trio’s third disc for Hyperion was released. The trio were described as 'fine interpreters' of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Sergei Taneyev with this disc of their piano trios. A disc of Johann Peter Pixis’ Piano Trios will be released in 2018.
The Leonore Trio’s members are keen exponents of contemporary music: they gave the first performance of Holkham Beach, a piece written for and dedicated to the Trio by Simon Rowland-Jones; and they play the piano trios of distinguished composers including David Matthews, Harrison Birtwistle and Huw Watkins.
In 2015 the Trio performed the complete Beethoven Piano Trios at Kings Place and embarked on an even broader project including all the works by Beethoven for piano trio, piano and violin, and piano and cello, a selection of which they performed in a series of six concerts as part of a Martin Randall weekend in Taunton. They started the complete cycle for Music in the Round in Sheffield Autumn 2015.
The 2016-17 season saw the trio perform at the Odsherreds Kammermusikfestival (Denmark), Wigmore Hall, Music at Oxford, Buxton Festival, the Leamington Music Festival Weekend and Lakeside Arts Centre Nottingham.
The current season’s highlights include performances at Wigmore Hall and the Bath Mozartfest. They give a concert at Istanbul’s Süreyya Opera House and continue their Beethoven Project for Music in the Round.
