Formed at the Royal College of Music in 2021, the Astatine Trio were unanimously awarded First Prize at the 2022 Senior Intercollegiate Piano Trio Competition as the youngest entrants, with an average age of 18. They went on to win the First Prize and Luigi Boccherini Prize of the International Virtuoso & Belcanto Chamber Competition (held in Lucca, Italy) in July 2022 and were most recently joint first prize winners of the Birmingham International Piano Chamber Music Competition in November 2022. In July 2022 the trio were selected by the Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival for a public masterclass with Alfred Brendel, after which they were invited by the legendary artist to undertake further work with him privately. They were chosen as one of four groups participating in ChamberStudio's Hans Keller Forum for 2022/23, receiving mentoring from Alasdair Beatson, John Myerscough and Richard Ireland at three intensive residencies across the academic year, and have also benefited from regular coaching with Prach Boondiskulchok. The trio regularly perform in the UK and abroad and had their Wigmore Hall debut in May 2022. They are grateful for the support of Maggie Grimsdell, the Piano Trio Society and the Nicholas Boas Charitable Trust. Julia Blachuta plays a 2019 violin by Polish luthier Jan Pawlikowski and Riya Hamie plays a George Panormo cello - on loan from the Benslow Music Instrument Loan Scheme since January 2020 - which was kindly donated by the late Walter Cheney.
