Praised for their warmth of sound, commitment to a wide-ranging repertoire and their uncomplicated approach to fine interpretations and engaging performances, the ATOS Trio has rapidly developed a strong reputation as one of the finest young chamber ensembles performing today.

Not long after its first rehearsals, the ATOS Trio became a prizewinner at the 2003 Brahms International Competition in Austria and was awarded the prize of audience favorite as well.
