Vienna Piano Trio
Members:
Matthias Gredler Violoncello Stefan Mendl Piano Wolfgang Redik Violin
The Wiener Klaviertrio is one of the most important ensembles at the Wiener Konzedrthaus. Since 2006/07 they have their own subscription cycle containing 4 concerts a season in the Mozart-Saal. For almost 20 years, the Vienna Piano Trio has been performing regularly in virtually every major music center in Europe, the Americas, Australia and the Far East. The trio was founded by violinist Wolfgang Redik, cellist Marcus Trefny and pianist Stefan Mendl in 1988. Extensive studies with various highly renowned musicians paved the trio's way to an international career soon after. The most important teachers and mentors of the ensemble include Isaac Stern, Ralph Kirschbaum and Joseph Kalichstein as well as the members of the Trio di Trieste, the Beaux Arts Trio, the Guarneri Quartet and the LaSalle Quartet. In the summer of 2001, Matthias Gredler replaced Marcus Trefny as the trio's cellist.
The Vienna Piano Trio regularly performs at music festivals such as the "Schubertiade Schwarzenberg", the festival "Aix en Provence", the "Mozartwoche Salzburg", the "Beethovenfest Bonn", the chamber-music festival in Kuhmo (Finland), and the festivals in Ottawa and Lanaudiere. In addition, the group tours worldwide, performing in major music cities such as London, Paris, New York, Buenos Aires, Bogota, Toronto, Montreal, Mexico City, Tokyo, Sydney, Brussels, Barcelona and Berlin. From 1997 to 2006, the Vienna Piano Trio held its own annual series of concerts as part of the Wiener Musikverein's "Jeunesse Musicale".
Beethoven's 'Triple-Concerto' was performed with orchestras like the Orchestre Philharmonique Belgique, the English Chamber Orchestra, Orchestre Metropolitain de Montreal and the Munich Chamber Orchestra,the Capella istropolitana among others.
