Leonore Piano Trio

Chamber Ensemble

  • powerful with an expansive lush sound
    Waikato Times

  • The Leonore Piano Trio brings together three internationally acclaimed artists whose piano trio performances under the umbrella of Ensemble 360 were met with such enthusiastic responses that they decided to form a piano trio in its own right. The Leonore Trio has already given a concert series in Italy, followed by a three-week tour of New Zealand, where their concert in Hamilton was broadcast on Radio New Zealand. The Trio also played to and coached a group of young musicians as part of the Sistema Aotearoa programme, gave a concert in the New Zealand Parliament, and were adjudicators of the Royal Over-seas League New Zealand Chamber Music Competition.

    They gave the first performance of “Holkam Beach”, a piece written for and dedicated to the trio by Simon Rowland-Jones and have been asked by the eminent composer, David Matthews to record his three Piano Trios.

    During the next few months the Leonore Trio will make its debut recording, for Hyperion, of the two Piano Trios of Anton Arensky, as well as giving concerts in the UK and Germany.

    Leonore Piano Trio is represented Worldwide by Catherine Strange at Rayfield Allied.

    • Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts, New Zealand
      14 November 2012

      The Royal Over-Seas League enables the best chamber music groups from universities to compete for a very substantial scholarship. This was the sixth consecutive year that the competition has been held at the Academy. It is tradition that some from the adjudicating panel perform at the opening concert; this year the judges performing were the Leonore Trio of Timothy Horton, Benjamin Nabarro and Gemma Rosefield. Haydn’s Piano Trio No 27 was played with all the characteristics of classical style; elegance, clarity, crispness and a sense of elastic tempi as Horton sparkled his way through the virtuoso piano part, allowing the accompaniment to meld into the background. In Ravel’s Piano Trio the ethereal hues and the reflective nuances captured the poignant moments. The Pantoum was exciting, while the Passacaille portrayed a bleaker terrain. The Finale was beautifully opulent with its warm lustres and full-bodied optimism. Holkham Beach by Simon Rowland-Jones was characterful as it traversed many moods which flowed almost seamlessly from one to the other; from the bleak to the scampering, from insecurity to fortitude and with a Presto full of energy and drama. Dvořák’s Piano Trio Op.65 was powerful with an expansive lush sound where Nabarro and Rosefield created a lovely blend and balance with the tuneful grazioso. The warmness and delicate phrasing of the Poco Adagio with its long legato lines were tinged with melancholy. The varieties of colours, energy and drive in the Allegro con brio were finely paced so that it built layers to its final climax. A great programme, a marvelous performance, what music making is all about. Make time to hear the finalists and scholarship winners in their concert on Friday 16th.
