Welcome the Z.E.N. Trio, which captured the UK's attention in its electrifying debut as BBC New Generation Artists. "...each of the three is a bold, imaginative and inspiring performer: never eclipsing their colleagues but each frequently, at points throughout the programme, dazzling in their own right." (Cambridge Independent) While the trio's name, "Z.E.N." is an acronym for the three artists' initials, it also represents the philosophy with which they approach chamber music making-the forgoing of the self for total togetherness.
An imaginative and electrifying performer, Zhang Zuo ("Zee Zee") began her musical training in Germany at the age of five. Upon returning to her native China, she became one of the most sought after young artists in the nation, collaborating with leading Chinese orchestras with whom she retains a close link.
Esther Yoo first came to international attention in 2010 when, aged 16, she became the youngest prizewinner of the 10th International Sibelius Violin Competition. From 2014 to 2016 she was a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, culminating in her BBC Proms debut.
Since winning the Cello First Prize and Gold Medal at the XIV International Tchaikovsky Competition in 2011 at the age of 22, Narek Hakhnazaryan has performed with most major orchestras across the globe and has established himself internationally as one of the finest cellists of his generation.
The evening's program:
SCHUBERT: Notturno in E-flat Major, Op. 148, D897
BRAHMS: Piano Trio No. 1 in B Major, Op.8
SHOSTAKOVICH: Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor, Op.67
