The Linos Piano Trio’s colourful and distinctive musical voice draws on the rich cultural and artistic backgrounds of the three musicians. Their five nationalities and breadth of specialisms, ranging from historical performance to new music, contribute to their multifaceted and personal performances. Alongside a commitment to the genre’s masterpieces Linos has, since its inception in 2007, expanded the repertoire by championing hidden gems and creating new trio transcriptions.

Praised for its “slow-burning, gripping performance” by The Strad, and “virtuosity, presence of mind, and wit” by the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Linos Piano Trio’s reputation has taken it to prestigious stages and festivals internationally. With its pioneering spirit, the trio recorded the first complete set of C.P.E. Bach’s Piano Trios, which received several five-star reviews from across the European press. In 2021, the trio released its recording of Stolen Music for CAvi-music in partnership with the Bayerischer Rundfunk, featuring the ensemble’s own arrangements of major orchestral works.

Of the ensemble’s numerous awards and affiliations, the Linos Piano Trio was the First Prize and Audience Prize winner of the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition 2015, the 2014 winner of the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Albert and Eugenie Frost Prize, and has been Carne Ensemble in Residence at Trinity Laban Conservatoire since 2017.

Linos (Λῖνος), in Greek mythology, was a son of Apollo. He received from his father the three-stringed lute, and became known as the inventor of new melodies, lyric songs, and eloquent speech. He was the teacher of Heracles and his brother Orpheus.
