Osiris Trio

The Osiris Trio was formed in 1988. Since then, the trio has toured five continents and was twice given the honor to accompany Her Majesty The Queen of The Netherlands on an official state visit abroad.

Over the past 19 years, the group has won a number of Dutch awards, including the ‘Philip Morris Finest Selection’ award and the Annie Bosboom Prijs. Since 2001 the Osiris Trio has been supported by the Dutch Ministry of Culture.

Diversity typifies the group’s repertoire, which ranges from Haydn’s oeuvre for piano trio to works by contemporary composers. The production of KlasTorstenssons In großer Sehnsucht even brought the trio on stage in a theatrical set- ting. The Dutch Society of Concert Hall and Theatre Managers recently nominated the Osiris Trio in the category “most impressive performances in Chamber Music.”

Both Ellen Corver and Larissa Groeneveld hold teaching positions at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. In 2005 violinist Vesko Eschkenazy, concertmaster of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam since 2000, joined the trio and took the position of founding member Peter Brunt. Brunt however still supports the Osiris Trio in its educational and theatrical activities and in running its own Chamber Music Festival.
