Programme Note
Praised for their ‘exhilarating, highly-toned’ performances (The Arts Desk), the Mithras Trio have established themselves as one of the next generation’s most exciting and dynamic piano trios.
Established in 2017 while students at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, they shot to international recognition winning first prize at the 10th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition (2019). In the same year they also achieved first prizes in the 67th Royal Over-Seas League Music Competition and Cavatina Intercollegiate Chamber Music Competition, and were recipients of the Royal Philharmonic Society Henderson Award. Named as BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists for the 2021-2023 seasons, they have recorded extensively for BBC Radio 3, as well as giving live-broadcast concerts from the Cheltenham, Hay, Ryedale and Belfast International Music festivals.
They are passionate exponents of contemporary music, having worked extensively with Helen Grime and Julian Philips, and have given world premières of works by Péter Tornyai and Joy Lisney. They released their debut album for Linn Records, titled ‘Eros’, in November 2023.
