Trio Isimsiz

What’s in a name? Trio Isimsiz’s name comes from the Turkish for ‘without name’ or ‘anonymous’. In other words, for Trio Isimsiz, it is all about the music.

Pianist Erdem Mısırlıoğlu, violinist Pablo Hernán Benedí, and cellist Edvard Pogossian met at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2008. They’ve since toured China and Argentina, and performed at venues such as Tivoli Concert Hall and Snape Maltings.

Trio Isimsiz will perform two giants of the piano trio repertoire. Schubert’s Piano Trio No. 1 is a chamber work of grand scale, yet full of intimacy and lightness. Brahms’ Piano Trio is, in the words of cellist Edvard Pogossian, 'the greatest piece of all time... filled with passion, love, nostalgia, and loneliness.' Tucked between these masterpieces is the Australian premiere of Francisco Coll’s inventive Piano Trio, hailed as “ear-beguiling and starkly inventive” by The Strad.

Three outstanding musicians, three individual voices, one ensemble.
