"their performance was reminiscent of the Beaux Arts Trio in its heyday"
The Independent, January 2008

"unbounded, tireless energy... Bravo!"
The Strad, April 2008

The Sitkovetsky Trio is a collaboration between three young musicians who share a passion for chamber music. Having met and worked together at the Yehudi Menuhin School, they founded the trio last year and have already received numerous awards and critical acclaim. They have won the Philharmonia-Martin Chamber Music Award and the Kirckman Society Award. They were awarded a Fellowship at the Royal Academy of Music in London and have been selected for the Tillett Trust Young Artists' Platform scheme 2008.

In January, the trio made a highly successful Southbank debut, playing a recital in the Purcell Room, and was recently invited to play in front of Her Majesty the Queen in London. They will be making their debut appearance at the Wigmore Hall in November 2008 and have already been invited to give recitals at various festivals throughout the UK. All three musicians enjoy varied careers as soloists and chamber musicians in their own right.
