history
The trio was awarded 1st prize at the International String Trio Competition in Munich in 2012 - no 2nd prize was awarded. Since then it has presented itself in chamber music series and made its debut in May 2014 at the Tonhalle Zurich. It performed at the “Klang” music days at Meggenhorn Castle near Lucerne and at the summer concerts in Melk Abbey (Austria). In 2014/15 invitations a. a. to Holzhausen-Schlösschen Frankfurt and Schlossmediale Werdenberg, where the trio premiered a new work by Helmut Oehring . In August 2016 the trio oreade made their debut at the Menuhin Festival in Gstaad.
After winning the chamber music competition of the August Pickhart Foundation Basel in January 2014, it was invited to a concert in the series of the Basel Chamber Music Society on March 17, 2015, which was recorded on both CD and DVD.
The three musicians, who live in Zurich and Hamburg, played in various ensembles before joining forces to devote themselves to the genre of string trio. Yukiko Ishibashi (from left) and Ursula Sarnthein (Va) won first prize at the 2001 Kiwanis Chamber Music Competition in Zurich. With the cellist Christine Hu, the trio got its present face in 2012. From 2013 to 2015 the trio oreade worked with Rainer Schmidt (Hagen Quartet) as part of the graduate course at the Basel University of Music. Further impulses came from Heinrich Schiff, Thomas Grossenbacher and Giovanni Antonini.
In addition to the core literature from Mozart to Schubert, the ensemble also performs lesser-known string trios from all eras. It also deals with the literature of the 20th century - for example, it played works by György Kurtág and the string trio op. 45 by Arnold Schönberg on the Chamber Music Day of the Tonhalle Zurich in June 2014.
Since autumn 2017 the trio has been playing instruments by Antonio Stradivari - "King George" 1710, "Gibson" 1734 and "De Kermadec Bläss" 1698 - on loan from the Stradivari Foundation Habisreutinger.
