The Astatine Trio performed a challenging programme of works by Schubert, Haydn, Ravel, Hans Werner Henze, Wolfgang Rihm, and Xiaowen Lei, across three rounds from 8-13 February 2025, at the Kunstuniversität Graz. The trio is now recognized as one of the leading ensembles to emerge from the competition’s storied history.
Members Berniya and Riya Hamie, from Brighton, studied at BHASVIC and are now furthering their musical studies in London at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy of Music. Despite their international recognition, the sisters continue to perform regularly in the Sussex area. More information about the trio can be found on their website: astatinetrio.com.
