www.trio-orelon.com The piano trio Trio Orelon, founded in Cologne in 2018, owes its name to the world language Esperanto, in which "Orelon" simply means "ear", thus symbolising the many aspects of listening in music. Violinist Judith Stapf, cellist Arnau Rovira and pianist Marco Sanna came together at the conservatories in Cologne and Berlin. Symphonic density, homogeneous sound, "chamber music intensity and emotionality" (FAZ)- these qualities were already attributed to the Trio Orelon shortly after its founding. A highlight of their trio career so far was the "Prize for the Best Interpretation of a Commissioned Work" at the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy University Competition 2021, which included a performance at the Konzerthaus Berlin. In 2022 the trio won the second prize at the Schumann Chamber Music Competition and a special prize for the "Best interpretation of a work by Robert Schumann or his companions". Concert tours take Trio Orelon throughout Europe as well as to renowned concert halls including the Tonhalle Düsseldorf, the Laeiszhalle Hamburg and the Gewandhaus Leipzig. The three musicians present innovative, thematic programmes in which they combine classical repertoire with lesser-known and undiscovered works. In the course of their repertoire research, the trio developed the project "Beethoven's Daughters" which focuses on the little-performed literature of female composers and relates them to their predecessor Ludwig van Beethoven in moderated concerts.
