Trio Con Brio Copenhagen

 We can now see the Con Brio as the worthy successors of the legendary Beaux-Arts Trio. That says it all!” (Díapason). Recognized for its exceptional musicianship, adventurous programming, and a fresh approach to the core repertoire, the prize-winning Trio Con Brio Copenhagen will perform music by Haydn, Arensky, and Schubert. A fusion of two overlapping musical pairs: two sisters, violinist Soo-Jin Hong and cellist Soo-Kyung Hong, are from South Korea; pianist Jens Elvekjaer, Soo-Kyung’s spouse, is from Denmark. Founded at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna in 1999, the Trio is now based in Copenhagen and is recognized for its fresh approach to the core repertoire and a commitment to bringing music to young people through their highly creative concerts.
