GOULD PIANO TRIO Lucy Gould, Violin
Alice Neary, Cello
Benjamin Frith, Piano The Gould Piano Trio has established a reputation as one of the most stylish and versatile ensembles performing today. Highly regarded in the field of chamber music, they enjoy a career that takes them to major venues in the United Kingdom and overseas. Chosen as British Rising Stars for the 1998-9 season, the Trio has performed in such prestigious venues as New York's Carnegie Hall, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Brussels Palais des Beaux-Arts, Birmingham Symphony Hall and major halls in Paris, Cologne, Athens and Vienna. Festival appearances have included Edinburgh, Cheltenham, Bath, Spoleto and the BBC Proms, while overseas travels have taken them to New Zealand, South Korea and Taiwan, South America and most European countries. They regularly tour to the United States, performing in the Lincoln Center, Weil Hall and at the Frick Collection. In the United Kingdom they appear at the Wigmore Hall, Bridgewater Hall, Purcell Room, LSO St Luke's, Queen's Hall Edinburgh, and they gave one of the first chamber concerts at The Sage, Gateshead as part of an Arts Council-sponsored 'Around the Country' national tour. Both the BBC Symphony Orchestra and BBC Philharmonic invited the Trio to perform James MacMillan's chamber works at their festivals. Frequent broadcasts from these venues have made the Goulds a familiar ensemble to listeners of BBC Radio 3. Their recordings include the complete trios by Brahms, Robert Fuchs, (which was listed as Editor's Choice in The Gramophone magazine), Tchaikovsky and, for Naxos, Mendelssohn (Naxos 8.555063). In 1999 the Trio started its own annual chamber music festival in Corbridge. National and international awards include First Prize at the Charles Hennen Competition in Holland, joint First Prize in the inaugural Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition in Australia, Audience Prize and First Prize at the 1993 Premio Vittorio Gui Competition in Florence, with British awards from the Tillett and John Tunnell Trusts. From 2005-2007 the trio are ensemble-in-residence at the Royal Northern College of Music, giving concerts, master-classes and chamber music coaching.
