Olga Stezhko was born in Minsk and studied at the Republican Music College in Minsk. In 2002 she won a scholarship to study in Italy, and in 2004 she came to the Royal Academy of Music in London on a scholarship, graduating with 1st Class Honours. She has won many international piano competitions, prizes and awards including the Grand Prix at the First International Piano Competition Halina Czerny-Stefanska In Memoriam in Poland, 1st Prize at the N. Rubinstein International Piano Competition in France and 3rd Prize at the Prix AmadèO de Piano 2013 in Germany. She was chosen as one of the winners of the Tillett Trust Young Artia/sts' Platform scheme and the prestigious Park Lane Group Young Artists Series. In 2012 she reached the semi-finals of the Geneva International Music Competition. Olga Stezhko's recital album featuring music by Scriabin and Busoni was released worldwide in May 2014 and described by Bryce Morrison of the Gramophone Magazine as "an outstanding debut". Apart from performing a wide range of classical repertoire, Olga Stezhko has a strong interest in developing unconventional multimedia projects that combine music, avant-garde films, literature and light design under one thematic arch. Her other interest are in physics and cosmology.

The Pinto Piano Trio was formed in 2014, having met as scholarship students at Lake District Summer Music. Comprised of London-based graduates and students of the Royal Academy of Music, they are all accomplished soloists in their own right. Pianist Alice Pinto gained her MMus degree from the Royal Academy of Music, where she held a Richard Carne Scholarship. Alice was awarded the Anthony Lindsay Piano Prize 2007, the Manager's Discretion Prize in the Jaques Samuels Intercollegiate Piano Competition 2008, and the Isabelle Bond Gold Medal 2010 keyboard nomination. She teaches piano and chamber music at Junior Guildhall. Violinist Olivia Jarvis recently gained her Masters degree from the Royal Academy of Music, having graduated with a music degree from King's College London. She was a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, and was leader of the London Mahler Orchestra and the University of London Symphony Orchestra. As a soloist she has performed concertos by Mozart, Bach and Haydn, Szymanowski and Shostakovich. Lydia Hillerudh is a Swedish cellist, currently in her final year of study at the Royal Academy of Music. She is a keen chamber musician and has been selected for the Park Lane Group Young Musicians scheme for the 2015/2016 season with the award-winning clarinet trio, the Tritium Trio.
