The Fournier Trio has won the 2013 Parkhouse Award in London.
The award, given every two years, is for chamber ensembles of piano
and strings whose members have been performing together for at
least two years. The prize for the winning ensemble includes three
concerts in major London venues.
The London-based Fournier Trio (pictured) was formed in 2009 and
comprises South Korean violinist Sulki Yu, 27, Australian cellist
Pei-Jee Ng, 28, and British–Taiwanese pianist Chiao-Ying Chang, 31.
The trio won second prize and the audience prize at the Trondheim
International Chamber Music Competition in 2011. Since then the
group has toured in the UK and Europe, and this year the trio will
tour Asia with concerts in Singapore, Hong Kong and
Australia.
Previous winners of the Parkhouse Award include the Fauré and Notos
quartets, and the duo of violist Nils Mönkemeyer and pianist
Nicholas Rimmer.
