Trio con Brio Copenhagen

Even beyond the realm of performance, the Trio con Brio Copenhagen plays a major role in Danish musical life. The group provides artistic direction to two important Danish musical institutions. The Trio con Brio Copenhagen was formed in 1999 at the Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien, where all three members were students. The group's members are violinist Soo-Jin Hong, cellist Soo-Kyung Hong, and pianist Jens Elvekjaer. In 2007, Trio con Brio Copenhagen released a self-titled album featuring piano trios by Ravel, Dvořák, and Ernest Bloch. Two years later, the group issued an album of Mendelssohn trios. The Trio con Brio Copenhagen has appeared at major venues in continental Europe, Britain, and the U.S. Scandinavian composers Per Nørgård, Bent Sørensen, and Sven-David Sandström have written new works for the group. The group released the album The Passenger: Weinberg, Schubert in 2024,
