Lavrynenko-Guliei Duo (Ukraine) wins first prize at 16th International Competition for Chamber Music Ensembles “Premio Trio di Trieste”

The International Competition for Chamber Music Ensembles "Premio Trio di Trieste ", taking place every two years in Trieste, is one of the largest in the world in the field of chamber music. The competition, organised by ACM – Associazione Chamber Music, pays homage to the outstanding activity and interpretation of chamber music by the renowned “Trio di Trieste” ensemble.
 
The CEI has always supported the competition by offering a cash prize to the most deserving ensemble from a CEI country. This year, the event has witnessed an even stronger cooperation thanks to the high participation of ensembles from the CEI region and following the good collaboration established in 2014 during the CEI Summit in Vienna, where ACM had organised two remarkable concerts of the Josef Suk Piano Quartet (winner of the 2013 edition of the competition).
 
This year, the main prize was awarded to the Lavrynenko-Guliei Duo (piano and cello) from Ukraine, the second prize went to the Romanian Banciu and Goicea Duo (piano and violin) and the third prize was bestowed upon the Polish Herbert Duo. The awarding ceremony took place on 7 September 2015 in Trieste, at Verdi theater, on the occasion of the concert offered by the three selected finalists who all performed pieces by Johannes Brahms.
 
At the opening, CEI Secretary General Amb. Giovanni Caracciolo di Vietri recalled the CEI support to the competition, which is in line with the overall cultural cooperation promoted by the organisation aimed at supporting young talented artists, especially from non EU CEI countries.
