In Trio con Brio Copenhagen, family ties, cultural blending and musical connections all converge to color, shape and energize the concerts they present worldwide. Korean sisters Soo-Jin and Soo-Kyung Hong and Danish pianist Jens Elvekjaer created the Trio in Vienna in 1999 with the concept of pairs coming together. The sisters had played together since childhood and Jens Elvekjaer and Soo-Kyung Hong (who are now married) had played piano and cello duos together for years. The high quality of their performances has been recognized not only by audiences and critics. In 2005, the Trio was the recipient of the Kalichstein- Laredo-Robinson International Trio Award, one of the most coveted in the world of chamber music.
