The Linos Trio: Carne Trust Ensemble in Residence

Carne Trust Ensemble in Residence, the Linos Piano Trio, return for an innovative lunchtime performance.

Linos (Λῖνος) was a celebrated musician in Greek mythology. The son of Apollo, Linos received from his father the three-stringed lute, sometimes depicted as the lyre. As one of the original demi-gods of music, Linos had many pupils, most famously Heracles and his brother Orpheus. Linos was known as the inventor of new melodies, lyric songs, and eloquent speech.

Praised for their “slow-burning, gripping performance” by The Strad, and “virtuosity, presence of mind, and wit” by the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Linos Piano Trio has earned international acclaim for its unique and innovative style. First Prize winners of the chamber music category of the German Record Critics Prize (2021), the Trio’s accolades include First Prize and Audience Prize of the Prize of the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition (2015), the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Albert and Eugenie Frost Prize (2014), and multiple five-star reviews for their album releases.

The rich cultural and artistic backgrounds of the three musicians contribute to the Linos Piano Trio’s colourful and distinctive musical voice. Their seven languages, five nationalities, and breadth of specialisms ranging from historical performance to new music, contribute to their multifaceted and personal performances. Alongside the ensemble’s commitment to the genre’s masterpieces, Linos expands the repertoire by championing hidden gems and creating new trio transcriptions.
