YOKO MISUMI

“Never have I heard piano and stringed instruments meld together so seamlessly” – Bachtrack.

“The Number One Trio in the world!”

Bernard Greenhouse

“…they are right there, in the moment, living the composer's joy, pain, humour or ecstasy and seemingly with a burning desire to share it with their audiences. It's not surprising that they have already built up a big following…”

The Greenwich Trio, described by legendary cellist Bernard Greenhouse as the "New Beaux Arts Trio", is formed by pianist Yoko Misumi, Beethoven Society of Europe Top Prize-winner; Lana Trotovsek,  a talent unveiled by Ruggiero Ricci’s at Salzburg’s Mozarteum; and cellist Stjepan Hauser, last student of Rostropovich and winner of 21 first prizes all over the world.

These three phenomenal talents joined forces in August 2006. Their breathtaking chamber music making gains  the approval of audiences and critics. The trio won number of first prizes in the international chamber music competitions in UK, Belgium and Italy.

The Greenwich Trio now receives regular coaching from Bernard Greenhouse and Stephen Kovacevich, and has had masterclasses with  Ivry Gitlis, Alban Berg Quartet, the Beaux Arts Trio, Wihan Quartet, The Schubert Ensemble of London, Israel Piano Trio, Deniz Gelenbe, David Kenedy, Martino Tirimo, Rivka Golani and Julian Jacobson.
