Aoi Trio – The World of Piano Trios: The Second Concert of the Seven-Year Project

Upon graduating from the Suntory Hall Chamber Music Academy, Aoi Trio’s members came together as a piano trio and their brilliance now resounds both in Japan and abroad since attaining victory at the ARD International Music Competition Munich. Aoi Trio have been working since 2021 on a distinctive special seven-year project offering a myriad of pieces. They play each of Beethoven's piano trios at CMG until the 2027 bicentennial of his death. 2022 marks the project’s second year, and starts with Beethoven’s vividly uplifting Piano Concerto No. 2 before moving into a piece by the quintessential composer of present-day Japan, Toshio Hosokawa, as well as an outstanding secret piece to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Franck’s birth.
