Formed in 2009, the London-based Fournier Piano Trio is rapidly emerging as one of the leading young piano trios. Winners of the 2013 Parkhouse Award they were awarded both 2nd Prize and Audience Prize at the 6th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition in 2011. The trio has made critically acclaimed debuts at both the Purcell Room and Wigmore Hall in London and in 2011 embarked on its first European Tour after their selection for ‘New Masters on Tour’ at the International Holland Music Sessions, the tour culminated in their debut at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw.
During the trio’s early years they were Leverhulme Chamber Music Fellows at the Royal Academy of Music where they worked with renowned pedagogues Thomas Brandis, Christopher Elton, Michael Dussek and Sung-Won Yang in addition to their duties as mentors to student chamber groups. Since 2011 the Fournier Trio have been ‘Artist-in-Residence’ at Wolfson College, University of Oxford where they continue to perform recitals and conduct masterclasses.
The trio is passionate about contemporary music and has worked with leading British composers Gary Carpenter, Hugh Wood, Timothy Salter and Daniel Kidane to expand the piano trio repertoire. The trio plans to record their debut album later this year for USK Recordings, the disc will include Timothy Salter’s Piano Trio alongside the Faure and Ravel Trios.
