Formed in London in 2006, the Greenwich Trio brings together Slovenian violinist Lana Trotovšek, Canadian cellist Heather Tuach, and Japanese pianist Yoko Misumi. Described by Bernard Greenhouse as the “New Beaux Arts Trio” they quickly earned major distinctions including the Solti Foundation and Tunnell Trust Awards and the top prize at the Beethoven Society of Europe Chamber Music Competition.
As an ensemble they have appeared at leading festivals such as Santander, Rheingau, Ljubljana, Estoril Lisboa, Cheltenham, Rye Arts, and Bath, and at venues including London’s Kings Place, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, and Madrid’s Royal Palaces. Their Linn Records release of the complete Brahms Piano Trios has received five-star reviews from BBC Music Magazine, Classica, and Diapason.
Alongside their chamber work, the members maintain distinguished solo careers: Trotovšek has performed concertos with conductors such as Zubin Mehta, Valery Gergiev, Gianandrea Noseda and Rafael Payare; Tuach made her Carnegie Hall debut in 2015 and recorded award-nominated Bruckner with the Fitzwilliam String Quartet; and Misumi has appeared as soloist with James Judd and in major halls across Europe and Japan.
Recent highlight: In September 2025, the Trio performed Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra under Julien Proulx in St. John’s.

Lauded by The Strad for her ‘thrilling and exuberant’ Royal Festival Hall debut, Shiry Rashkovsky pursues an international and diverse career. Her recording of Kate Whitley’s Viola Concerto (dedicated to her) for NMC was hailed as ‘fearless’ by The Guardian, while her latest EP which included a newly-commissioned duo composed by and recorded with Héloïse Werner was featured on BBC Radio 3’s New Music Show. In demand as a chamber musician, she is frequently invited to international festivals including Prussia Cove Open Chamber Music where she has performed with Pekka Kuusisto and Viviane Hagner, among others, and she is a founding member of Trio Klein, whose groundbreaking ‘Trio Klein’s 80s Night’ programme was featured on BBC Radio 3, and who were Artists in Residence at the University of Surrey 2023/2024.

Fenella Humphreys, winner of BBC Music Magazine Awards in 2025, 2023 and 2018, has attracted critical admiration and audience acclaim with the grace and intensity of her remarkable performances.
Fenella performs widely as a soloist. Her recent album of Sibelius’ solo works with BBC National Orchestra of Wales has been featured in BBC Radio 3’s Building a Library and Gramophone Magazine’s Guide to the Concerto. BBC Music Magazine wrote of the recording: “Fenella Humphreys’s playing is a genuine revelation in the way it brings out the music’s dark and introspective qualities, with no shortage of technical panache.”
Violist Gary Pomeroy studied at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and the Reina Sofia in Madrid. He enjoys a range of education work, mostly at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and is a founder member of the Heath Quartet who have recorded several albums, performed recitals worldwide and toured with opera and theatre companies.
Cara Berridge is a passionate chamber musician, founder member of the Sacconi Quartet, cellist in London Bridge Piano Trio and Ensemble Perpetuo. Sacconi Quartet have won prizes at many International competitions and have performed extensively throughout the UK and Europe.
Hailed as ‘a major new talent’ by International Piano and a ‘pianist of splendid individuality’ by The Arts Desk, British pianist Sam Armstrong brings deeply-felt interpretive power to the solo, chamber music and vocal repertoire. Passionate about music education, Sam is currently Senior Tutor in Keyboard Chamber Music and Professor of Piano at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
