The Van Baerle Trio was founded in 2004, and its name is derived from the street where their musical roots lie: the Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam, located at the van Baerlestraat. Here the three musicians met while still studying at the at the Conservatory of Amsterdam.
After winning a competition in the Concertgebouw they are nominated for the ECHO Rising Stars, a tour that takes the trio to important halls throughout Europe, Vienna, London, Paris, Barcelona and Cologne. In following years, they further establish their international reputation when winning the ARD competition Munich and the International Chamber Music Competition in Lyon.
In 2022, the internationally acclaimed young composer Gabriel Prokofiev wrote a new piano trio for the Van Baerle Trio and in March 2024 the musicians premiered Rob Zuidam’s new piano trio at the Friday Evening Concert series of AvroTros in TivoliVredenburg Utrecht.
Besides residing as a Piano Trio in season 25/26 the Van Baerle Trio will be collaborating again with Isabelle van Keulen on viola in an exciting quartet programme and they will join forces with clarinet virtuoso Annelien van der Wauwe to presente Messiaen’s Quatuor pour la fin du Temps. As trio they will be presenting all Brahms piano trio’s in four beautifully shaped programmes, as well as all the Beethoven trio’s because in 2027 we will commemorate the bicentenary of the composers death
