The trio of the musicians first performed together in 2008 in the Provost Major’s Palace in Vác. The perfect consonance of the three highly-trained musicians, who actively deal with early music, is based on deep musical sensibility and virtuosity. Their present programme includes the works of the two great baroque composers, Georg Philipp Telemann and Johann Sebastian Bach, complemented with some Early Baroque masterpieces. Due to their harmonic and coherent though varied character, these pieces, preferred parts of the trio’s repertoire, make the programme colourful. The excellent stylistic sense, virtuosity and sensitivity of the musicians guarantee an inspired and convincing performance of the pieces. Their first recording will be made this year sounding the works of Telemann. The venue of the concert is the recently renovated precious baroque church of Berkenye, a picturesque little village at the foot of Börzsöny.
