First prize winner of the International Commerzbank Chamber Music Award 2008, the Sitkovetsky Trio is a collaboration between three young musicians who share a passion for chamber music. Having met and worked together at the Yehudi Menuhin School, they founded the trio in 2007 and have emerged as one of the outstanding trios of today, receiving numerous awards and critical acclaim. They have won the Philharmonia-Martin Chamber Music Award, the Kirckman Society Award, the Tillett Trust, Hattori Foundation, and they held the Junior Fellowship at the Royal Academy of Music 2007-2008. Recently they became the first recipients of the Golubovich Fellowship at Trinity College of Music, resulting in many performances across London and also a concert in Russia.

Last year, the trio made a highly successful Southbank debut, playing a recital in the Purcell Room, and were invited to play in front of Her Majesty the Queen in London. They made their debut appearance at the Wigmore Hall in November 2008 and another recital there in May, 2009. They have already been invited to give Recitals at various festivals throughout the UK and abroad, in venues such as the Alte Oper in Frankfurt and the Chamber hall of the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The trio will also perform the Beethoven Triple concerto five times with the Munich Symphoniker in November 2009. All three musicians enjoy varied careers as soloists and chamber musicians in their own right.

The Sitkovetsky Trio is supported by the Tillett Trust
