Fournier Trio

Formed in 2009, the internationally award-winning Fournier Piano Trio has rapidly established itself as one of the leading young chamber ensembles in the UK. Described by Classical Source as having “awesome but restrained technical ability and chamber-music antennae”, they were winners of the prestigious 2013 Parkhouse Award at Wigmore Hall, finalists at Hamburg in 2012 and were recipients of 2nd Prize and Audience Prize at the 6th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition in 2011. The trio has made critically acclaimed debuts at both the Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room in London, and have made appearances at major UK festivals including the Bath International Music Festival, Newbury Spring Festival, Chichester Festivities, Brighton, Lamberhurst and Devizes Festivals and toured Scotland extensively as part of their Tunnell Trust Award. Committed to expanding the piano trio repertoire, the Trio has premiered new trios by leading British composers Gary Carpenter, Hugh Wood, Timothy Salter and Daniel Kidane.
