Formed in 1997, the Kungsbacka Piano Trio has gained an enviable reputation as one of the most outstanding ensembles of its kind. Having established its credentials early on by winning First Prize in the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition, they went on to join the Young Concert Artists’ Trust, the BBC Radio 3’s New Generation Artists’ scheme, and became "Rising Stars" with the European Concert Halls Organisation, performing at venues including New York’s Carnegie Hall, the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam and Konzerthaus, Vienna. In the United Kingdom, the Trio performs at the South Bank Centre, Wigmore Hall, Bridgewater Hall, LSO St Luke’s and the City of London, Cheltenham and Edinburgh International Festivals. Highlights have included concert tours of Germany, France, Switzerland, South America and Sweden as well as frequent broadcasts for BBC Radio 3 and Sweden’s Radio P2.
They have recorded extensively including music by Chopin, Fauré, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert and Schumann. Passionate about contemporary music, trios have been written for them by Britta Byström, Kevin O’Connell, Deirdre Gribbin, Helen Grime and Karin Rehnqvist and they have performed the music of Marc-André Dalbavie, Wolfgang Rihm, Mark-Anthony Turnage, Huw Watkins and Jörg Widmann.
They founded the innovative ‘Change Music festival’ in the town of Kungsbacka, Sweden and were awarded the prestigious Interpretpris from the Swedish Royal Academy of Music in recognition of their artistic achievements. In the 25/26 season they were the first ensemble to be selected for the 'Poste Restante' Artist Residency at Uppsala Konserthus in Uppsala, Sweden.
