Kinsky Trio Prague
The Kinsky Trio belongs to the leading Czech chamber ensembles. It has been appearing on concert stages since 1998, but since 2004 it has been bearing the name of a famous noble family, with the kind permission of the Kinský family from Kostelc nad Orlicí. The trio studied at Prague's HAMU under the guidance of Prof. Václav Bernášek, a member of the Kocian Quartet. Has completed several master classes, e.g. with Guarneri Trio or Florestan Trio in London. They have performed many successful concerts in the Czech Republic, in European countries (Germany, Austria, England, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, France), tours in the USA, Canada and Mexico, as well as performances in the Seychelles Islands.
In September 2008, Kinsky Trio Prague had its debut in musically famous Salzburg, where it performed at three concerts as part of the Salzburger Schlosskonzerte festival in the Mirabell Palace. In May 2012, the Kinsky Trio performed in England as part of the Newbury Festival under the auspices and in the presence of the Duke of Kent.
