Already established with an international reputation, the Van Baerle Trio have been awarded top prizes at the ARD International Music Competition in Munich in 2013, the Lyon International Chamber Music Competition in 2011, as well as receiving the audience prize at both contests and winning the Kersjes Prize in 2012, the highest chamber music award in the Netherlands.
The Van Baerle Trio was founded in 2004 by pianist Hannes Minnaar, violinist Maria Milstein, and cellist Gideon den Herder. It was formed under the guidance of Dmitri Ferschtman and received lessons from Ferenc Rados and Claus-Christian Schuster, among others. After winning the 2011 Vriendenkrans Competition in the Concertgebouw and performing there on numerous occasions since, the Van Baerle Trio was promoted by the Concertgebouw as ECHO Rising Stars 2013/14, a tour which took the trio to major venues across Europe, including Vienna‘s Musikverein, the London Barbican, Cité de la Musique in Paris, L‘Auditori in Barcelona and the Philharmonie in Cologne. The Trio’s highly praised discography features a debut CD of works by Saint-Saëns, Loevendie, and Ravel, which received an Edison Award in 2013. This was followed by an album dedicated to Mendelssohn’s piano trios, including the world premiere recording of the early version of his Piano Trio in D minor. Most recently the trio has recorded all the Beethoven piano trios, with the final disc, the Triple Concerto with the Residentie Orkest The Hague under the baton of Jan Willem de Vriend, released in Spring 2020.
