Formed in 2021, the award-winning Astatine Trio is quickly gaining recognition as one of the UK’s most exciting young chamber ensembles. Named BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists for 2025-27, they were recent second prize and special prize winners at the 2025 Franz Schubert and Modern Music Competition in Graz – becoming the first UK-based ensemble to win a main prize in the competition’s history. Other accolades include first prizes at the Birmingham International Piano Chamber Music Competition, Virtuoso & Belcanto International Chamber Competition (Italy) and the Senior Intercollegiate Piano Trio Competition, and the SEAM Prize for contemporary music at the Lyon International Chamber Music Competition.
The trio were privileged to be mentored by Alfred Brendel from 2022-25 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 BBC Radio 3 In Tune.
