The Marylebone Trio, is a classical woodwind trio formed in 2003 by postgraduate students at the Royal Academy of Music. Since then the trio has given recitals to appreciative audiences around the UK, including appearances at music festivals in Deal, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon, music societies throughout the South of England, recital series at the National Portrait Gallery, Quay Arts (Isle of Wight), various universities, Brighton College and Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. In 2007, the trio reached the finals of the Tunnell Trust chamber music competition. The trio has performed recitals on board cruise ships, travelling to countries including Australia, Hong Kong, Norway and Russia. They also provide music for weddings and corporate events and have played at a garden party in the presence of HRH Prince Edward, and a performance in the unusual setting of Marylebone Station for the launch of a new Chiltern Railways service. The Marylebone Trio is keen on education work and has held several children's workshops and concerts as well as running its own chamber music course for the last three summers. The trio's repertoire is wide and varied, including music by Mozart and Beethoven, several gems from 20th-Century France, Britain and Eastern Europe, many of which are inspired by folk songs. Recently the trio has been expanding its repertoire by commissioning works from young British composers.

 

"Thank you all for giving us such a memorable concert on Saturday. It was a brilliant performance and very much appreciated. I was very pleased that you attracted such a large audience, to get so many people was excellent and a reflection on our audience’s expectations which you met in spades."
David Ford, Yatton Music Society
