About the artists: Trio Chagall was founded in 2013 by Lorenzo Nguyen (piano), Edoardo Grieco
(violin) and Francesco Massimino (cello) within the Conservatory of Music “G.Verdi”
of Turin. The name of the Trio is intended as a tribute to the famous painter Marc
Chagall, who has always been a deep source of inspiration has always been admired
for his ties to music and his strong expressive power through the use of colour. The
Trio is now continuing its studies under the guidance of Antonio Valentino and the
Debussy Trio and is attending the High specialisation Master’s degree in chamber
music with Trio di Parma and Pierpaolo Maurizzi. The ensemble also receives the
precious advice of Marco Zuccarini, Amiram Ganz and Christian Schuster from the
Altenberg Trio Wien and Bruno Giuranna (Trio d’Archi Italiano), with whom they
performed the Mozart Piano Quartet KV.493 in 2017. From 2020, the Trio Chagall is
supported by De Sono Foundation. Trio Chagall has recently gained the attention of
the musical milieu as a winner of the Second overall Prize (First Prize not awarded)
at the 20th edition of the Premio “Trio di Trieste”, where it was also given the special
prizes “Dario de Rosa” for best performance of a piece by Schumann, “Fernanda
Selvaggio” for best Trio of the competition and “Young award” as most promising
ensemble finalist. With an average age of 20 years, the Trio is the youngest chamber
group ever awarded in the competition’s history. The Trio Chagall is involved in
an intense concert activity all over Italy performing in prestigious venues (Vatican
Museums in Rome, Milan Theatre dal Verme and Conservatory, Theatre Giuseppe
Verdi in Trieste, Sala Sassu in Sassari) and as a guest of Unione Musicale, Società
del Quartetto, Accademia Chigiana, ACM – Chamber Music of Trieste, Fondazione
