The Waldstine Trio achieved significant early success as the only London College prize winners at the CAVATINA Intercollegiate Chamber Music Competition at Wigmore Hall in 2022. Immediately after, they were offered the Carne Trust Junior Fellowship by Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. The following year, the Trio won the 1st Prize at the “4th Vienna International Music Competition”, leading to a performance in the Musikverein-Brahms Saal, Vienna; resulting in an invitation to take part in the prestigious Evolution Chamber Music Course in the Banff Centre for the Arts and Creativity in Canada. On their return to London, thanks to the generosity of Philip Carne the Trio was offered a second year of Fellowship and continued to gain more awards; winning the First Prize in the “Medici International Music Competition”, the Gold Prize and the Special Award for Best Professional Chamber Ensemble in the “Amadeus International Music Awards”, the Second Prize in the “Fanny Mendelssohn International Competition”, the Third Prize in the “Rising Stars Grand Prix 2023” in Berlin and the First Prize in the “Grand Prize Virtuoso International Music Competition” in Bonn. The members of the Trio are very keen to perform not only the standard repertoire for piano trio but also to premiere new music: most recently collaborations include three living composers Sem Hak (Netherlands), Valentina Ciardelli (Italy), Bruno Heinen (United Kingdom) and world-renowned musicians such as Sergio de Simone, Richard Markson and Raphael Wallfisch. Recent performances include the Brahms Piano Quartets in Malta, the Shostakovich and Mendelssohn Trios in Canada and Cyprus, a cycle of Shostakovich Chamber Works, Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time in London, a concert/masterclass at Manchester University, performances in Mozarteum Grosser Saal in Salzburg, Austria and Beethoven-Haus in Bonn, Germany. By the end of 2025 the Waldstein Trio will release their first album for Orpheus Classical. The Trio's debut at Carnegie Hall, New York was on October 2nd after having won the first prize in the Manhattan International Music Competition after which they were invited to join the roster of the Manhattan Concert Artist Management Agency in New York for the next two years. The members of the Trio would like to express their immense gratitude for the invaluable support they have received from Philip Carne MBE. In addition, acknowledgment to David Kenedy, Nic Pendelbury, Douglas Finch and Elizabeth Lloyd-Davies, as well as Trinity Laban and Morden College. Highly obliged to Teresa and Jonathan Sumption for their heartful kindness.
