Event Details

The Sitkovetsky Trio is one of the world’s leading piano trios and performs regularly on the most prestigious stages across the globe. Their playing has been described as “precision, flair, and conversational intimacy that all well-wrought chamber music demands (The Times).

The ensemble comprises the Russian-British violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky, the German cellist Isang Enders, and the Chinese pianist Qian Wu. The trio has existed for nearly 20 years and has gained the highest recognition for its progressive programming and undisputed ensemble playing. For many years, they have performed in some of the world’s most renowned concert halls – including the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Alte Oper in Frankfurt, the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the Auditori in Barcelona, Lincoln Center in New York, and with particular regularity at Wigmore Hall in London.
