Fournier Trio performance supports concert piano campaign

The Trio gave a faultless performance of Brahms' Sonata for cello and piano in F major, opus 99 and Sonata for violin and piano in A major, opus 100 to the intimate and captivated audience who had braved the wintry conditions. Both sonatas, while very different in character, were written by Brahms in the summer of 1886, an especially creative time for him, spent in Switzerland beside Lake Thun.

The concert was performed as part of a rich programme of musical events held by the College's Music Society, and helped support the campaign to acquire a first class concert piano to be installed for the grand opening of the new Leonard Wolfson lecture theatre and concert hall in the summer.The Trio returned to Wolfson following their first European Tour in November 2012, culminating in their debut at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, regarded as one of the finest concert halls in the world. They have rapidly emerged as one of the leading young piano trios, winning both 2nd Prize and Audience Prize at the 6th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition in 2011.
