Introducing the performers…
Phoenix Piano Trio
The Phoenix Piano Trio is established as one of today’s leading ensembles, bringing together three renowned players and praised for performances with a “musical narrative of tremendous, involving depth”.
The trio have performed at London’s Wigmore Hall, at the Ryedale Festival, the Killaloe Festival in Ireland, the Songmakers festival in Sheffield with soprano Joan Rodgers, the British Music Society in York, the Happy Days Festival in Eniskillen, the Leicester International Music Festival, and the London Chamber Music Society at Kings Place. They have recently recorded Cheryl Frances-Hoad’s The Forgiveness Machine for the Champs Hill label and Philip Venables’ Klaviertrio im Geiste for NMC (both works commissioned by the Phoenix Piano Trio).
Acclaimed for their honest and insightful interpretations that span the entire genre, in the Trio released in 2019 the first of a series of recordings capturing the intense musical output from Leipzig in the 1840s connecting composers such as Mendelssohn, Brahms, the Schumanns and Niels Gade. 2020 plans include a return to Wigmore Hall and a complete Beethoven cycle in several venues.

Jonathan is dedicated to the art of period performance and regularly guest leads the French orchestra Le Circle de l’Harmonie.
Christian Elliott was appointed Principal Cellist of the Irish Chamber Orchestra in 2016, and is a member of the Zehetmair Quartet, with whom he has appeared at Europe’s most prestigious venues and music festivals.
