Projects
Trio Futuro
Trio Futuro was founded in 2024.
The three young musicians, who became friends during their pre-college studies, formed the ensemble and, in 2025 and 2026, won First Prize at the German national Jugend musiziert competition, several special awards, and the prestigious WDR 3 Classical Music Prize of the City of Münster. Since 2025, they have also been scholarship recipients of the Jürgen Ponto Foundation in Berlin.
All three musicians perform on instruments provided by the German Musical Instrument Fund of the Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben: Frieda plays a violin by Richard Tobin (London, 1834), Philipp a violin by Carlo Annibale Tononi (Venice, 1727), and Oscar a cello by Lorenzo & Tomaso Carcassi (Florence, c. 1768).
