From the Czech Lands

Featuring the international award-winning Trio Bohémo, this concert will be a rare occasion to hear composers and performers from the Czech lands. Dvořak’s famous “Dumky” Piano Trio is at the heart of their program, where melancholy and joy are felt in quick succession. In “Moravian Folk Songs,” the performers’ voices will join the colours of their instruments with traditional melodies from the artists’ homeland by Czech composer Jan Vičar. Framing the program: a Haydn trio overflowing with elegance, wit, and the fiery virtuosity of Mendelssohn’s first piano trio.

  • Trio Bohémo Biography

    Trio Bohémo is an award-winning Czech chamber ensemble known for their dynamic performances and mastery of the classical piano trio repertoire. In 2023, they received first prize, a prize for the best interpretation of Joseph Haydn, and the audience prize at the International Joseph Haydn Chamber Music Competition in Vienna. The trio also won third prize and the audience prize at the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition in Australia and were awarded three special prizes at the ARD International Music Competition. They have also been recipients of the prestigious Czech Chamber Music Society award.


    Other recognitions have included the Gianni Bergamo Award in Switzerland, prizes at the ISA Festival in Austria, including best interpretations of Viennese Classical Music and Czech Contemporary Chamber Music, first prize at the International Filippo Nicosia in Italy, first prize and audience prize at the 2021 International Johannes Brahms Competition in Austria, and the International Parkhouse Award in London.​


    Notable concert venues where Trio Bohémo has performed include the Vienna Musikverein, Wigmore Hall in London, and Stoller Hall in Manchester, UK. They have also appeared at numerous festivals, such as the Prague Spring in CZ, the Schwarzwald Musikfestival in DE, and the Festival van Vlaanderen in Gent, BE. From 2020 to 2022, Trio Bohémo was a member of the European Chamber Music Academy.

They play with both passion but also precision, they listen to one another and they clearly love and enjoy this music. The string players, Matouš Peruška and Kristina Vocetková, can sing and soar, while the pianist, Jan Vojtek, makes light work of Schubert's often complex and fast-moving piano writing.
