London Bridge Trio

About the London Bridge Trio

The London Bridge Trio is one of Britain’s leading chamber ensembles, known for their deeply nuanced and searching interpretations. Formed in 2002, they continue their original mission of prioritising strong, composer-led programmes, often collaborating with regular guest artists. Their name reflects an admiration for English music of the early twentieth century, which forms part of the group’s varied repertoire and is represented by their hugely successful Frank Bridge recordings. For 2022 and beyond, founder Daniel Tong is joined by Ben Hancox and Cara Berridge, both members of the acclaimed Sacconi Quartet with whom Daniel has performed on numerous occasions.

Over recent years the trio has appeared frequently in London with Wigmore Hall and Kings Place concerts as well as a residency at St John’s Smith Square, entitled ‘Brahms and his World’. Their concerts have been broadcast live by BBC Radio 3. The group has also appeared at venues including Queen’s Hall, St George’s and the Ponte de Lima Festival (Portugal).

The London Bridge Trio has released several recordings to widespread acclaim, including music by Frank Bridge, Fauré, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Dvořák, and their latest ‘The Leipzig Circle’ celebrating unheard female composers.

In 2008 the ensemble founded its own festival, the Winchester Chamber Music Festival, welcoming capacity audiences each year in late April/early May. In 2018 the festival celebrated its tenth anniversary with the world premiere of a new work written for the trio by Colin Matthews, ‘Hidden Agenda’, and the trio were joined by the Heath Quartet for a series of sold-out concerts.
