The Austrian Eggner Trio is one of the most recognized and well-known of today's leading piano trios. Founded in 1997 by three brothers - Georg (violin), Florian (cello), and Christoph (piano) - the trio regularly performs in venues such as Wigmore Hall in London and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The Eggner Trio has appeared throughout Europe, in Japan, Argentina, Uruguay, the USA and quite frequently in Australia and New Zealand. The trio received international recognition in 2003 when they won the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition in Australia. Besides playing chamber music, the three brothers have played as soloists in the triple concertos of Ludwig van Beethoven and Bohuslav Martinu, performing with the Orchestra Filharmonica dell'Umbria (Italy), the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra (Australia), the South Bohemian Chamber Philharmonic of Budweis (Czech Republic), and the Tonk??nstler Orchestra (Austria).
