Trío Aralia

A Johannes Brahms 2019 International competition (Austria) and Léopold Bellan competition laureate, supported by the ADAMI and the Meyer Foundation, the Trio Aralia performed at the le Roque d'Anthéron 2019 International Piano festival as “ensemble in residence”, at the “Vues d’ensembles” and “Festiville” festivals at the ferme de Villefavard-en-Limousin, at the Palais de Compiègne, at the Saint-Louis des Invalides cathedral, at the Jean Jacques Henner Museum in Paris, at the New Jerusalem Museum in Russia, at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, or at the Nieuwe Kerk in The Hague where their Ravel trio performance was broadcasted on Radio West.

Thanks to ProQuartet - Centre Européen de Musique de Chambre, where they are in residence since 2019, they’ve been selected to participate in a residency at the Château de Lourmarin in September 2021 and to go on tour in Russia, co-organized with "Live Music Now".

Their commitment to meet new audiences makes the members of the Trio leading several projects:

Having performed in retirement homes and hospital environment throughout the lockdown, they carry out outreach concerts for young audiences in Saint-Ouen (FR). In this context their creation “l'Envers du Miroir”, for soprano and trio on an original text by Marc Henric, is an occasion to lead a workshop for children and retirees to initiate them to performance and creation.

“Derrière les cortis” festival concerts have also been designed for this purpose. Investing in orchards around Annecy, the Trio Aralia meets singers to perform improvisations, melodies and arrangements as well as the great repertoire of chamber music.

Graduated from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris, the Trio Aralia takes part to the ECMAster program with the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna and the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, and the Concertist Tranining of the Trio Wanderer. They join the Instituto Superior de Musica de Camara in Madrid with Günter Pichler in 2021.

They are taught by members of the Alban Berg Quartet (Hatto Beyerle, Isabel Charisius), the Talich Quartet (Jan Talich, Petr Prause), the Wanderer Trio, the Ebony Quartet and Jean-Frédéric Neuburger, François Salque, Alasdair Tait, Patrick Jüdt, Emmanuel Strosser, Olivier Charlier, Lise Berthaud, Avedis Kouyoumdjian, Claire Désert, Ami Flammer.
