Since its formation in 2021, the award-winning Astatine Trio has emerged as one of the UK's most exciting young ensembles. They were awarded second prize and the special prize for best performance of the prizewinning set work at the 2025 Franz Schubert and Modern Music Competition in Graz, becoming the first UK-based ensemble to win a main prize in the competition's history, and their other accolades include first prizes at the Birmingham International Piano Chamber Music Competition, Virtuoso&Belcanto International Chamber Competition (Lucca, Italy) and Senior Intercollegiate Piano Trio Competition in 2022. The trio have performed extensively across the UK and abroad, including at Wigmore Hall, St George's Bristol, Aldeburgh's Jubilee Hall and the Harrogate Sunday Series, and as Britten Pears Young Artists for the 2023/24 season they made their debut appearance on BBC Radio 3 ‘In Tune' in February 2024.
Since 2022 the trio has benefited from the mentorship of legendary pianist Alfred Brendel at his invitation. They have undertaken residencies at Snape Maltings and at the University of Cambridge, as part of ChamberStudio's inaugural Hans Keller Forum, and from 2024 onwards will take part in masterclasses across Europe as part of the European Chamber Music Academy. The trio are also grateful for the mentorship of Richard Ireland, John Myerscough, Prach Boondiskulchok, Michal Kaznowski, Luc-Marie Aguera and Riccardo Cecchetti and have worked with Anthony Marwood, Alasdair Beatson, Alina Ibragimova, David Waterman, Thomas Hoppe, Yovan Markovitch, Patrick Jüdt, Minna Pensola, Indre Baikstyte, Tim Horton, Donald Grant, Adrian Brendel, Peter Nagy, Krysia Osostowicz, Christoph Richter, Bruno Giuranna, Robin Ireland, the Gould Trio and the Busch Trio among others.
Passionate about new music, the trio was awarded the SEAM Prize for contemporary music at the 2023 Lyon International Chamber Competition, in which they were the youngest finalists. Upcoming projects include the premiere of a new piano trio by Timothy Salter, which is being written especially for the group. The trio are grateful for the support of ChamberStudio, the Piano Trio Society, Maggie Grimsdell (Music at Longhill Road), Philip Carne and the Nicholas Boas Charitable Trust.
