Trio ’95

In programme: Henze, Brahms, Randalu (premiere)

The Glasperlenspiel concert is part of the special award from the Estonian Record Productions, received by Trio ’95 at the International Chamber Music Competition „Tallinn 2021“. Not many musicians have the experience of playing together as long as the Trio ’95 – the members of the ensemble were only 8 years old at the time of its birth in 2003 at the Tallinn Music High School. Rasmus Andreas Raide (piano), Robert Traksmann (violin) and Marcel Johannes Kits (cello) all have completed their higher musical education in prestigious German music universities. As a result of this unique path of education, young artists combine qualities of domestic education with the knowledge from the best music institutions of Western Europe. Thanks to their versatile experiences, the trio’s repertoire is also diverse, giving the equal chance to shine for the known and the lesser-known pearls of the genre. The performance and wider promotion of Estonian music is also very important for the trio. At the Glasperlenspiel, Kristjan Randalu’s new work „Noah’s Blade“ will be premiered. The most notable achievements of the trio are I prize in the International Chamber Music Competition Pavasario Sonata (2012), I prize in the International Chamber Music Competition named after Ilmari Hännikäinen in Finland (2021) and I prize with numerous special prizes in the International Chamber Music Competition „Tallinn 2021“. Trio ’95 is a laureate of the Estonian Cultural Endowment’s Sound Art Endowment 2020 annual award.
