The Guardian
A romantic journey with Trio Wanderer
The three globetrotting musicians of Trio Wanderer chose the perfect name for their ensemble. The Wanderer is the archetypal Romantic figure, an explorer of new horizons. Like its namesake, the Trio travels the world revisiting familiar repertoire, discovering new riches with every performance. It’s a quality that has taken the ensemble to the peak of the international scene. Playing with an almost supernatural connection, the Trio showcases the witty banter of Haydn’s dashing Trio in C, the vivacity of Bohemian folk song and dance in Dvořák’s ‘Dumky’ Trio and the heart-swelling drama of Rachmaninoff’s second Trio élégiaque.

A note from Yarmila Alfonzetti, Series Curator
As the years go on it seems that piano trios as an ensemble type have become a rare breed; perhaps not as starry as the more common string quartet, but by no means less complex and, some might say, definitely more intricate. I have a particular weakness for the Dumky and after trying to get Trio Wanderer to Australia for over three years now, I am delighted that 2019 marks their debut here. I hope you will join me to hear first-hand the brilliance of these much-lauded concert and recordings artists whose most recent accolade was as recipients of the Chevalier dans l’ordre des Arts et Lettres.
