About
The Davidoff Trio, winner of the prestigious Parkhouse Award 2025 in London, is one of the up-and-coming young piano trios on the European chamber music scene.
The trio has received numerous national and international awards and, in addition to the Parkhouse Award, has won prizes at the International JOSEPH JOACHIM Chamber Music Competition Weimar, the International Gianni Bergamo Classic Music Award, the Folkwang Prize and the Orpheus Swiss Chamber Music Competition. The ensemble also holds a scholarship from the Werner Richard – Dr Carl Dörken Foundation and is supported by the Walter Kaminsky Foundation and the Academy of Sciences and Literature Mainz.
The Davidoff Trio performs regularly on international stages and has made guest appearances at the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, the Brixen Classics Festival, the Musikdorf Ernen Festival and the Swiss Chamber Music Festival Adelboden, among others. Concert recordings have been broadcast internationally, most recently on the SRF-Kultur programme. For the seasons 2025-2027, the trio was selected as Ensemble in Residence at ProQuartet – Centre Européen de Musique de Chambre.
With the aim of making classical music accessible to a wide audience through innovative concert formats and unusual concert venues, in January 2025 the trio opened an interdisciplinary concert series in Mainz, Germany (supported by the #MusikerZukunft scholarship from the Deutsche Orchesterstiftung, among others) in the popular bar “Nirgendwo”, combining classical music with jazz and poetry.
Founded in 2021 in Mainz (Germany), the trio is currently studying at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen with Prof. Thomas Hoppe and, from the academic year 2025/26, at the International Institute for Chamber Music in Madrid at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía with Günter Pichler. The ensemble also receives significant artistic inspiration from Eberhard Feltz, Konstantin Heidrich, Andreas Lehmann (Liszt Trio Weimar), Emanuel Wehse (Morgenstern Trio) and Boris Kusnezow.
