Overview
The Equilibris Piano Trio was founded in 2018 by two Swiss string musicians – Anna Abbühl (cello) and Simon Wiener (violin) – together with Russian pianist Igor Andreev and they were joined together by their mutual passion for chamber music. All three young musicians are internationally active as soloists and the trio performs for the first time in Cyprus for only one recital at Technopolis 20, on Sunday, 27th of October 2019, at 6pm.
On Friday, 25th of October, at 7:30pm, do not miss the opportunity to meet these young talented musicians, under an informal interview and with a glass of wine. It will be interesting to discuss with them how it feels to achieve so many things in such young age, since all the three of them are awarded soloists, have performed in important venues and are collaborating with distinguished musicians and orchestras. During the discussion a number of short solo performances will take place, where one will be able to see the talent of the three young artists.
Anna was studying with professors as Antonio Meneses, Martti Rousi and Ivan Monighetti and she is a winner of Bischofszell music competition. Simon is a former student of Zakhar Bron and Renaud Capuçon, principal violin of Sinfonietta de Lausanne and winner of Kiefer Hablitzel music competition. Recently, he won the International Johannes Brahms Competition (Pörtschach, 2019) and the Critics’ Prize at Leopold Mozart Competition (Augsburg 2019). Igor is a concert pianist and at the same time an accompanist in the High School of Music in Bern, winner of prestigious Rina Sala Gallo piano competition, amongst others, chaired by Maestro Vladimir Ashkenazy, something that became an important point in his career.
The Equilibris Piano Trio gives concerts in 2019 at the Interlaken Classics Festival and St. Petersburg Piano Trio Festival as well as at the Zelt-Musik-Festival in Freiburg im Breisgau; other concert appearances are scheduled in Cyprus, Germany, Russia and Switzerland.
