Gould Piano Trio with David Pyatt horn

Gould Piano Trio

Shortlisted by the Royal Philharmonic Society in 2006 as one of the three most outstanding UK chamber groups, the Gould Piano Trio have established a reputation as one of the most exciting ensembles to emerge in recent years, enjoying a career that has taken them to major venues both in the UK and overseas. Chosen as the British Rising Stars for the 1998-9 season, the Trio performed in such prestigious venues as New York's Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Brussels Palais des Beaux-Arts, Birmingham Symphony Hall and major halls in Paris, Cologne, Athens and Vienna. Over the years Festival appearances have included Edinburgh, Cheltenham, City of London, Bath, Brighton, Spoleto and the BBC Proms, whilst overseas travels have taken them to New Zealand, South Korea and Taiwan, South America and most European countries. The Gould Piano Trio have been the recipients of many national and international awards and as part of their commitment to extending the piano trio repertoire, the Goulds have commissioned works and performed many contemporary pieces. They enjoy coaching young ensembles and giving workshops in schools and are currently Resident Artists at the Royal Northern College of Music.
