PROGRAM
Formed in 1976 in Germany, the Trio received prizes and awards early on- at the international contests in Colmar and Geneva (1977), in Bonn (1979), Bordeaux (1981); the Bernhard Sprengel Prize (Hanover 1986) and the Robert Schumann Prize (Zwickau 1992).
The ensemble has toured throughout 45 countries in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Africa and has been the guest performers at numerous festivals.
Since 1982 the Abegg Trio has made over 25 recordings on the Tacet label, including the complete cycles of piano trios by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Gade, Schumann, Brahms and Dvorák.
On more than five occasions, recordings of trios by Beethoven, Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn, Smetana, Jánacek, Debussy and Ravel have been awarded the "Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik."
In addition to a wide range of concert performances, Ulrich Beetz and Gerrit Zitterbart are professors at the Conservatories in Weimar and Hanover respectively, and Birgit Erichson taught chamber music at the Franz Liszt Conservatory in Weimar. Together, the Abegg Trio pass their skills on to the younger generation.
