About the Mithras Trio

Praised for their ‘exhilarating, highly-toned’ performances (The Arts Desk), the Mithras Trio have established themselves as one of the next generation’s most exciting and dynamic piano trios.

Established in 2017 while students at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, they shot to international recognition winning first prize at the 10th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition (2019). In the same year they also achieved first prizes in the 67th Royal Over-Seas League Music Competition and Cavatina Intercollegiate Chamber Music Competition, and were recipients of the Royal Philharmonic Society Henderson Award. Named as BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists for the 2021-2023 seasons, they have recorded extensively for BBC Radio 3, as well as giving live-broadcast concerts from the Cheltenham, Hay, Ryedale and Belfast International Music festivals.

They have performed at many of London’s major venues, including Wigmore Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room and Milton Court Concert Hall, and have also appeared in concert across Europe and North America. They were selected as Kirckman Concert Society Young Artists for the 2019/2020 season, and Countess of Munster Trust Recital Scheme Artists for 2020-2023. In 2024 they were named as Borletti-Buitoni Trust award winners.

They are passionate exponents of contemporary music, having worked extensively with Helen Grime and Julian Philips, and have given world premières of works by Péter Tornyai and Joy Lisney. They released their debut album for Linn Records.

There will be a pre-concert talk by Richard Wigmore at 1.45pm.
