Performers
The Albany Trio is a diverse and innovative ensemble whose repertoire focuses on works by female composers – both current and historic – alongside the traditional canon of piano trio music.The Trio gave their BBC Radio 3 debut lunchtime concert live on International Women’s Day, and have appeared at major venues around the UK. The ensemble was selected as Park Lane Group Young Artists, and are featured artists in Making Music’s Concert Promoters’ Guide, and the Concordia Foundation. In 2014, the Trio were awarded the Richard Carne Junior Fellowship at the Royal College of Music, curating a hugely successful inaugural Women in Music festival, which was sold out. The trio were finalists at the St Martin’s International Chamber Competition 2016 and winners of the Gwyneth George Award from the Piano Trio Society. The ensemble regularly attend masterclasses, receiving scholarships to the International Musicians Seminar: Prussia Cove, a winter residency at the Banff Centre, Pro Corda and the Dartington International Summer School. Committed to bringing works by female composers to new audiences, the Albanys regularly collaborate with composers, recently commissioning their fourth Trio, by Judith Bngham, premiered live on BBC Radio 3. They have previously premiered works by Charlotte Bray, Judith Weir, and Josephine Stephenson.
