ATOS Trio

Description

The Mill Valley Chamber Music Society features the ATOS Trio at 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 21, 2010 with a program featuring Beethoven, Cassado and Brahms. Praised for their warmth of sound, commitment to a wide-ranging repertoire and their uncomplicated approach to fine interpretations and engaging performances, the ATOS Trio has rapidly developed a strong reputation as one of the finest young chamber ensembles performing today.

Not long after its first rehearsals, the ATOS Trio became a prizewinner at the 2003 Brahms International Competition in Austria and was awarded the prize of audience favorite as well.

In 2007, the ATOS Trio won First Prize, Grand Prize, the Musica Viva Tour Prize and the Audience Prize at the 5th Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition, marking the first time in the history of the competition that a single ensemble garnered this many honors.

The Trio was also named First Prize Winner at the International Competition Schubert and the Music of Modern Times 2007 in Graz, Austria, where they
were also awarded the prize for the best interpretation of a work by Schubert.
