The Zedéll Piano Trio is a young emerging ensemble, formed in 2017 by current postgraduate students at the Royal Academy of Music. Although based in London, the trio is made up of international members, from Portugal to Indonesia to South Korea.
The Trio was the winner of the annual Isaacs and Pirani Piano Trio Prize held at the Academy with the performance of Smetana’s Piano Trio. They have additionally competed in the Harold Craxton Prize, also held at the Academy.
The Zedéll Trio was most recently selected to play in a masterclass by Trio Owon earlier in January in the Angela Burgess Recital Hall at the Royal Academy of Music, performing Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 1. Additionally, they have been part of the concert performance series held in the International Students House. Upcoming engagements include a recital as part of the House Concert Series at the Korean Cultural Centre in London later this October. The Trio has previously held early-evening and lunchtime concerts at the Academy. They have worked with musicians such as Christoph Richter, Adrian Brendel, Sung-Won Yang, Levon Chilingirian, Jack Liebeck, Richard Ireland, Jim Sleigh, and Andrew West.
