Programme

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:  Trio in B flat, K. 502

George Enescu:  Piano Trio in A minor

Johannes Brahms: Trio No. 1 in B major, Op. 8

Praised for their “exhilarating, highly-toned performances” (The Arts Desk), the Mithras Trio, Thomas Mathias - violin, Ben Tarlton - cello and Dominic Degavino - piano, have established themselves as one of the next generation’s most exciting and dynamic piano trios.

Established in 2017 while students at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, they shot to international recognition winning first prizes at the 10th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition and 67th Royal Over-Seas League Competition. Named as BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists for the 2021-2023 seasons, they have recorded extensively for radio, as well as giving live-broadcast concerts from several major music festivals. In 2024 they were named as Borletti-Buitoni Trust award winners.  Dedicated to contemporary music, they have given world premières of works by Péter Tornyai and Joy Lisney. Their second album for Linn Records, titled Fountain of Youth, was released in May 2026.

In June 2026 the Trio entered a new era, with Thomas Mathias and Ben Tarlton joining as violinist and cellist respectively.
