Programme Note
The Trio Isimsiz was formed in 2009 at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, under the guidance of Louise Hopkins, Carole Presland and Alasdair Tait. They have participated in masterclasses with the Belcea, Endellion and Takács Quartets and with Pavel Gililov, Wolfgang Reddick and Thomas Riebl at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. In 2013 the Trio undertook a residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts working with Henk Guittart and were selected for representation by YCAT.
Over the last year the Trio has given recitals throughout the UK including Wigmore Hall, the Barbican, Royal Festival Hall, Purcell Room, Barber Institute Birmingham, The Sage Gateshead, Brighton Dome, Colston Hall Bristol, the Lower Machen and Portsmouth Festivals. They have taken part in masterclasses with Menahem Pressler at Wigmore Hall, Steven Isserlis at King’s Place and the Gould Piano Trio at Dartington. Engagements this season include a residency in Aldeburgh, and recitals at Wigmore Hall, Barbican, Colston Hall Bristol, Purcell Room, Newbury Spring Festival, Peasmarsh Festival and the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
All three members of the Trio Isimsiz Piano Trio enjoy great success individually.

The Quartet’s debut recording was released in 2011 to critical acclaim.
Michael Petrov was born in 1990 in Bulgaria. He studied at the Yehudi Menuhin School and at the GSMD with Louise Hopkins, winning the Gold Medal in 2014.
