Streeton Trio to Perform Tasty Sunday Afternoon Concert Next Month

Celebrating the release of the Streeton Trio's new CD, this program explores masterworks by some of the most beloved Czech composers.

The Elegy for Piano Trio by Suk is the tasty appetiser before Dvorak's famous 'Dumky' piano trio and Smetana's beautiful G minor piano trio present the main fare.
And, as ever in this popular series, dessert comes first - in the form of the traditional afternoon tea selection of magnificent cakes!

Described by Musica Viva as "Australia's most internationally successful piano trio,"
the Streeton Trio was formed in 2008, in Geneva, Switzerland, by three young Australian musicians.

In 2010, the trio was selected to be a part of the prestigious European Chamber Music Academy, where it was in residence for three years.

Winner of the 2011 Music Viva Chamber Music Competition, the Streeton Trio has been laureate of several prestigious international competitions, and has won scholarships from Australia Council for the Arts, Arts Victoria and Ian Potter Cultural Trust.
In 2012, the trio was featured as Musica Viva's Rising Stars ensemble.

Named after the Australian Impressionist painter, Sir Arthur Streeton, the trio
- now comprising violinist Emma Jardine, cellist Meta Weiss and pianist Benjamin Klopp - has received great acclaim for performances in venues such as Wigmore Hall, Het Loo Royal Palace (Holland), Shanghai Oriental Arts Centre, Melbourne Recital Centre, Trondheim Festival, Apeldoorn Festival, Pablo Casals Festival (Prades) and Bangalow Festival.

Recent performances include appearances across the United Kingdom, China, Australia, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, Holland, Lithuania, Norway, Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland.
