Ensemble Avalon is a fresh and dynamic piano trio featuring three of Ireland's finest internationally accomplished soloists and chamber musicians. Since their inaugural concert together in the summer of 2006 the trio have performed concerts, tours and series in Europe and enjoy regular broadcasts on radio and television. Originating from both Northern and Southern Ireland, the three members of Ensemble Avalon each enjoy an active solo and chamber career and they have created Ensemble Avalon as a means to discovering and performing new and existing piano trio repertoire together. The trio have been part of Music Network's artist roster following the success of their February 2007 tour, which was generously funded in part by Music Network's Performance and Touring Award.
