Trio Brontë

Hosted by the LSE Lunchtime Concert Series
Shaw Library, 6th Floor, Old Building
Thursday 23 Jan 2025 1.05pm - 2pm

Join us for the first lunchtime concert of 2025 at which we are delighted to be joined by the Trio Brontë.

Trio Brontë is the 1st prize winner of the 2023 Ilmari Hannikainen International Piano Chamber Music Competition in Finland. Based in Berlin and consisting of Chiara Sannicandro (violin), Lili Bogdanova (piano), and Annie Jacobs-Perkins (cello), Trio Brontë is named after the Brontë sisters and inspired by their passion, intelligence, and companionship.

The trio comprises three outstanding young musicians each of whom have busy concert careers and have won significant prizes and plaudits from the critics including the New Yorker who found the cellist’s "hypnotic lyricism allows listeners to forget where they were for a moment". The trio champions works by lesser-known and female composers as well as works in the traditional canon.

Trio Brontë is pleased to be a Britten Pears Young Artist for the '24-'25 season, culminating in a two-week residency and performances at Snape Maltings. Additional concerts in '24-'25 will bring the trio to Germany, the Netherlands, England, and the United States.

Trio Brontë met at the Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler," where they currently study with pianist Jonathan Aner and have received additional coaching from Kolja Blacher, Troels Svane, and Eldar Nebolsin.

Programme to include:

Schubert Piano Trio No.1 in Bb Major, D898

The next lunchtime concert is on Thursday 30 January and will be performed by Hanna Chang (violin) Jonathan Ware (piano).

Join the LSE Choir and Orchestra on Tuesday 1 April for the LSE Spring Concert in the beautiful surroundings of St Clement Danes Church.
