Biography

The Rautio Trio draws together three outstanding young musicians from Britain, Israel and Russia. Based in London, they are widely recognised as one of the UK’s finest young ensembles. Known for their intelligent artistry, they bring innovative programmes and diverse repertoire to their audiences. Specialisms include Russian repertoire, British contemporary music and a historically informed approach to classical period works.

The Trio performs at major chamber music venues in the UK, appearing at the Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room, St. George’s Bristol, Bridgewater Hall and frequently on BBC Radio 3 ‘In Tune’. The Rautio Trio has been recipient of many prestigious awards: Tillett Trust Young Artist Platform (2005), Maisie Lewis Wigmore Award (2006), Park Lane Group Award (2006), Musician’s Benevolent Fund Ensemble Award (2007), and were finalists and winners of the audience prize at the Parkhouse Award (2007).

Previous seasons have included the premier of ‘Syzygy’ by Benjamin Wallfisch at the Wigmore Hall, Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with Nottingham Symphony Orchestra and a collaboration with clarinettist Julian Bliss of ‘Quatuor pour la la fin du temps’ by Messiaen. They were selected by the Manchester Mid-day Concerts Society for the Bridgewater Hall Recital Series (2007) and invited to appear at the Florestan Piano Trio’s Peasmarsh Festival following masterclasses on Schubert piano trios. Last season they gave debut recitals in Vienna and at the Pablo Casals Festival in France.

The three players are prize-winning graduates from the Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music and Royal Northern College of Music. Individually they are recipient of numerous scholarships and awards for their solo work and collectively they bring a depth of experience from working with some of the worlds most distinguished musicians in Europe and America.

They were appointed Leverhulme Chamber Music Fellows at the Royal Academy of Music 2005-7 and in 2008 were the first UK piano trio to be selected for the European Chamber Music Academy.
