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

Praised for their ‘exhilarating, highly-toned’ performances (The Arts Desk), the Mithras Trio have established themselves as one of the next generation’s most exciting and dynamic piano trios.

Established in 2017, they shot to international recognition winning first prize at the 10th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition (2019). In the same year they also achieved first prizes in the 67th Royal Over-Seas League Music Competition and Cavatina Intercollegiate Chamber Music Competition, and were recipients of the Royal Philharmonic Society Henderson Award. Named as BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists for the 2021-2023 seasons, they have recorded extensively for BBC Radio 3, as well as giving live-broadcast concerts from the Cheltenham, Hay, Ryedale and Belfast International Music festivals.

The Trio has performed at many of London’s major venues, including Wigmore Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room and Milton Court Concert Hall, and have also appeared in concert across Europe and North America. They were selected as Kirckman Concert Society Young Artists for the 2019/2020 season, and Countess of Munster Trust Recital Scheme Artists for 2020-2023. In 2024 they were named as Borletti-Buitoni Trust award winners. They are passionate exponents of contemporary music, having worked extensively with Helen Grime and Julian Philips, and have given world premières of works by Péter Tornyai and Joy Lisney. Their second album for Linn Records, titled ‘Fountain of Youth’, released in May 2026.

Thomas Mathias and Ben Tarlton joined the Trio as new violinist and cellist in June 2026.
