Formed in 2021, the award-winning Astatine Trio has since emerged as one of the UK's most exciting young ensembles, with accolades including second prize and special prize for performance of the prizewinning work of the composition competition at the 2025 Schubert and Modern Music Competition in Graz – the first UK-based ensemble to win a main prize in the competition’s history – as well as first prizes at the Birmingham International Piano Chamber Music Competition, the Virtuoso&Belcanto International Chamber Competition (Lucca, Italy) and the Senior Intercollegiate Piano Trio Competition in 2022. Passionate about new music, they were awarded the SEAM Prize for contemporary music at the 2023 Lyon International Chamber Competition as the youngest finalists. The trio are privileged to be mentored by Alfred Brendel and have performed extensively across the UK and abroad, including at Wigmore Hall, St George's Bristol, Aldeburgh’s Jubilee Hall, the Harrogate Sunday Series and on BBC Radio 3 In Tune.
