Trio Concept

“The finest artist has no concept that a single block of marble does not already contain within itself”

Michelangelo Buonarroti

Trio Concept was formed in 2013 by three musicians from Turin—Edoardo Grieco (violin), Francesco Massimino (cello), and Lorenzo Nguyen (piano)—who first came together as young artists.

In October 2024, the ensemble decided to change its original name—from Trio Chagall to Trio Concept—to emphasize the cohesion of an artistic journey spanning over a decade, centered on the idea of the trio as the core of their musical activity and a constant source of creative inspiration.
The new name is inspired by Michelangelo Buonarroti’s words, reflecting the trio’s artistic commitment: to seek out and present the beauty inherent in every work, which comes to life through performance, just as the sculptor reveals the perfect form within a block of marble.

Trio Concept was named an ECHO Rising Star for the 2025/2026 season and, following a three-week residency at the 2024 Verbier Festival Academy, was honoured with the Prix Yves Paternot, the festival’s highest honour in recognition of outstanding talent and potential. In 2023, the ensemble became a YCAT Artist after a triumphant final performance at Wigmore Hall, London. That same year, it secured first prize at the Schoenfeld International Competition in Harbin, China, and was selected as the ensemble in residence for ProQuartet in Paris.

In Italy, Trio Concept won the second prize in 2019 — with the first prize not awarded — as well as three special prizes at the “Premio Trio di Trieste,” becoming, with an average age of just twenty years, the youngest chamber ensemble ever awarded in the history of the competition. The Trio was also chosen by the jury of the Accademia Chigiana as the winner of the “Premio Giovanna Maniezzo,” was named “Ensemble of the Year 2020/2021” by Le Dimore del Quartetto, and subsequently became ensemble in residence for Comitato Amur for the year 2023/2024. The Trio has been supported by Associazione De Sono.

DOWNLOAD BIO

The Trio recently debuted with Beethoven’s Triple Concerto in Taipei and has collaborated with artists such as Bruno Giuranna, Mathieu Herzog, and Giampaolo Pretto.

Trio Concept is committed to the discovery and promotion of new repertoire, collaborating with contemporary composers to bring both present and past music to audiences. Beyond concerts, the Trio is also active in fostering dialogue with audiences and engaging younger generations through school visits and concerts for children. They have been invited to give Masterclasses at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in England and at the Lyceum Mozarteum in Havana, Cuba.
Upcoming engagements will see the Trio return to Wigmore Hall in London, perform at the Verbier Festival, and make numerous debuts in prestigious venues such as Konzerthaus Berlin, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, and Tonhalle Zürich.

Edoardo Grieco plays a violin by Carlo Antonio and Giovanni Testore, built in Milan in 1764, while Francesco Massimino plays the “Oro del Reno” cello, crafted by Gaetano Sgarabotto in 1948 in Milan.

LISTEN AND WATCH

Trio Concept’s repertoire spans four centuries of music: from Haydn to Shostakovich, from Beethoven to Schubert, Brahms and Ravel, without missing contemporary pieces.

Enrico Bronzi said about them: “The vastity of the repertoire, which includes many different composers interpreted with naturalness, completes the table from which Trio Concept will develop its career”.
