Formed in 2021 at the Royal College of Music, the award-winning Astatine Trio has since emerged as one of the UK’s most exciting young ensembles. Their accolades include first prizes at the Birmingham International Piano Chamber Music Competition, the Virtuoso&Belcanto International Chamber Competition (Lucca, Italy) and the Senior Intercollegiate Piano Trio Competition in 2022, and they have performed extensively across the UK and abroad, including at Wigmore Hall, St George’s Bristol, Aldeburgh’s Jubilee Hall and the Harrogate Sunday Series. As Britten Pears Young Artists for the 2023/24 season, the trio made their debut appearance on BBC Radio 3 ‘In Tune’ in February 2024.
Since 2022 the trio has benefited from the mentorship of legendary pianist Alfred Brendel at his invitation. They have undertaken residencies at Snape Maltings and at the University of Cambridge, as part of ChamberStudio’s inaugural Hans Keller Forum, and from 2024 onwards will take part in masterclasses across Europe as part of the European Chamber Music Academy.
Music at Kettle’s Yard
Music has always been an important part of Kettle’s Yard, and concerts have been played here since 1970, when the inaugural concert was given by Jacqueline du Pré accompanied by Daniel Barenboim. Kettle’s Yard creators, Jim and Helen Ede, made the new extension of Kettle’s Yard with music performances in mind and left instructions that there were to be ‘at least three really good concerts every year’.
Today we offer around twenty concerts a year.
