THE KUNGSBACKA
PIANO TRIO


Formed in 1997, the Trio is rapidly gaining an enviable reputation as one of the most outstanding ensembles of its generation. In 1999, the Trio won first prize in the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition and in the same years was selected for representation by the Young Concert Artists' Trust in London. It has since appeared at numerous festivals and venues throughout Europe, North America and Australia.

Invited to take part in the BBC New Generation Artists scheme in 2000, the Trio can be frequently heard on Radio 3. Broadcasts have included live concerts from the Wigmore Hall, the Bridgewater Hall and the City of London, also from the Cheltenham and Edinburgh International Festivals. Selected as "Rising Stars" in 2002 by the European Concert Halls Organisation, the Trio gave a series of recitals at major venues throughout Europe and a debut recital at New York's Carnegie Hall.

Engagements over the last year have included return visits to the Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The Trio has also undertaken an Arts Council England "Around the Country" tour, and given concerts in the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Canada and the United States.

The Trio has recently been appointed as Associate Ensemble at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Its members also have teaching posts at Gothenburg University's School of Music, giving lectures, masterclasses and concerts throughout the year.

The Trio takes its name from the Swedish town in which it gave its first performance and has established an annual chamber musical festival there, now in its fourth year.
