Profile & Special Focus
Since its foundation in the winter of 2020, Trio Hannari has been winning over audiences with its honest style, in which music comes first. Since the ensemble came together in a very special time: Despite the circumstances, they decided in 2020 to explore the piano trio repertoire of all epochs and begun rehearsing together in January 2021, initially with masks and distance. Since then, they have dedicated theirselves intensively to innovative program planning, new concepts and concerts in which they can be close to the audience and to the music.
Trio Hannari does a music education project in Frankfurt (concert with moderation and discussion about the music with the audience as well as other musicians; inspired by the thought of an open masterclass for the audience)
