Balakirev Trio was founded by two members of the internationally acclaimed Atrium Quartet: violinist Anton Ilyunin and cellist Anna Gorelova. After many years of successful quartet activity, both musicians felt a growing desire to explore new artistic horizons beyond the string quartet and to devote themselves to the particularly intimate and dialog-driven world of the trio repertoire. From this idea emerged a new ensemble with its own distinct artistic identity and a clearly recognizable musical profile. The repertoire of the Balakirev Trio spans masterpieces of the trio literature from Johann Sebastian Bach to contemporary composers. Alongside the great classical and romantic works, the ensemble also places special emphasis on rarely performed discoveries, presenting them to the audience with curiosity and imaginative interpretative flair.
