Three young Turin musicians joined forces to form a piano trio, gave themselves the unusual name Trio Concept, won First Prize at the International Schoenfeld Competition – and were proposed by us, the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, as ECHO Rising Stars. At the moment, the commissioned work is being written for the three musicians – this time a very special piece about a frog who just wants to chill on his sofa.

Festspielhaus Baden-Baden

When three teenagers formed a piano trio in 2013, they were still students and performed under the name "Trio Chagall." More than ten years later, the three friends from Turin have become a professional trio, playing with Italian passion and now appearing as "rising stars" in Europe's prestigious concert halls. As their career progressed, a new name was needed: Inspired by Michelangelo, they called themselves "Trio Concept," with the vision of carving out the beauty of a work like a sculpture from a block of marble.

The Trio Chagall returns to Wigmore Hall following its recent tour of the UK. Winners of the Schoenfeld International String Competition in September 2023, the Trio is involved in concert activity across Europe, most notably in Italy where it frequently performs in prestigious venues throughout the country.
