Paddington Trio

Friday 11 July 2025

1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

The Paddington Trio’s programme explores a wide range of colours and moods, opening with Grieg’s Andante con moto in C minor. Though rarely performed, it is a poignant and expressive work that reveals the composer’s gift for lyrical melody and rich harmonic writing. Andrea Tarrodi born in 1981, is a Swedish composer based in Stockholm. Her works, including Akacia performed in today’s concert, have been performed at several venues both in Sweden and abroad, among them the Royal Albert Hall at the BBC Proms in 2017. The Paddington Trio close with Ravel’s masterly Piano Trio – the blending of both a skilfully crafted structure and the indescribably fresh voice of Ravel and a new musical era.

Recognized as one of the most exciting chamber ensembles of their generation, the London based Paddington Trio brings fresh interpretations and exuberant energy to every performance. Comprised of Finnish violinist Tuulia Hero, Irish cellist Patrick Moriarty, and American pianist Stephanie Tang, the trio formed in 2020 and has since established itself as a distinctive and dynamic presence on international stages.

Winners of top prizes including the Royal Over-Seas League Competition, 2024 Triomphe de l’Art, 2024 Storioni Concours, and the 2023 Parkhouse Award, the trio is currently supported by the City Music Foundation, Kirckman Concert Society, and GBZ Management. In 2023, they completed an Artist Fellowship at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, and continue to mentor young ensembles through the Chamber Fellowship Programme at the Royal Northern College of Music.

The trio has performed at prestigious venues such as Wigmore Hall, Kings Place, TivoliVredenburg, and LSO St. Luke’s, and has appeared at international festivals across the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Mexico, and Finland. They are ensemble-in-residence at the Reina Sofia Institute and are mentored by the European Chamber Music Academy and others. In 2025, highlights include tours in the U.S. and China.
