[2][3][4] The trio had its breakthrough when it took the main award at the prestigious German ARD International Music Competition in 2002.
In 2005 Trio con Brio became Ensemble in Residence at Copenhagen's historic Round Tower.
In their review of trio's resulting debut CD, the American Record Guide wrote: “One of the greatest performances of chamber music I’ve ever encountered [...] What stands out from this ensemble is the range of tone and sound [...] They command an amazing range of timbres.
Melodies sing with an aching sweetness, or seduce with wild eroticism, or haunt with impenetrable mystery"[1] while Gramophone wrote that "it’s easy to see what so impressed the judges [...] [the] performances can compete with the best available [...] a superb, greatly gifted chamber group".
In Copenhagen the trio gives regular concerts at venues such as the Queen's Hall of the Black Diamond.
