The string trio of Ensemble Perpetuo was formed in 2015 by Fenella Humphreys.

Fenella's playing has been described as "alluring", "unforgettable" and "a wonder" by the press. She achieved a remarkable simultaneous six maximums in 2017 when her recording "Bach 2 The Future" was awarded double five stars by both the Gramophone and the BBC Music Magazine and then "Recording of the Month" in the same two magazines. She has played at many venues in the UK, Europe, Far East and Australia. She has had a number of works written for her by eminent British composers such as Sally Beamish and Sir Peter Maxwell Davis. She plays a Guarneri violin dating from the early 18th Century.

Andrew Berridge was brought up in Leeds, studying law at University before switching to music. His scholarship at the RNCM was for both violin and viola, winning prizes for the latter. He joined the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in 2003 as co-principle viola. Since, he has played at the RLPO, RSNO and the SCO as well as chamber music.He is now a member of the Scottish Ensemble and teaches viola and chamber music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Christian Elliot is principle cellist with the Irish Chamber Orchestra but also plays with the Zehetmair Quartet and the Phoenix Piano Trio. His early studies were with his guitarist father and took his first degree at McGill University in Montreal, subsequently studying at the RNCM in Manchester.
