Ladies' Morning Music Club Presents the Trio Wanderer

TRIO WANDERER, piano trio

Jean-Marc Phillips-Varjabédian - violin, Raphaël Pidoux - cello, Vincent Coq - piano

Acclaimed for its extraordinarily sensitive style, almost telepathic understanding of each other, and technical mastery, the Trio Wanderer is a French ensemble that has been performing in major halls on six continents for over three decades. The members are all graduates of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris. In addition, they studied at Indiana University, Juilliard, and with members of the Beaux Arts Trio and the Amadeus Quartet. The name “Wanderer” pays homage to Schubert, and more widely to German Romanticism, which is often suffused with the theme of the wandering traveler. Indeed, these three musicians are avid open-minded, wandering travelers, who explore a musical world spanning the centuries from Mozart and Haydn to the present day. In 1988 the Trio won the ARD International Music Competition in Munich, and in 1990 the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition in the U.S. In 2015, the three musicians were recipients of the Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters (Chevalier dans l’ordre des Arts et Lettres). The Trio has recorded more than twenty CDs, mostly on the Harmonia Mundi label, but also on Sony Classical, Accord, Cyprès, Capriccio, and Mirare. LMMC Debut.
