Trio Brontë

Formed in Berlin in 2022, Trio Brontë unites German-Italian violinist Chiara Sannicandro, Bulgarian pianist Lili Bogdanova, and American cellist Annie Jacobs-Perkins. Inspired by the Brontë sisters’ passion and close bond, the ensemble quickly gained international recognition. In 2023 it won 1st Prize at the Ilmari Hannikainen International Chamber Music Competition in Finland, followed by 1st Prize and a Special Prize at “Franz Schubert and Modern Music” in Graz and 2nd Prize at the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Competition in Berlin (2025). Their debut CD featuring works by Schubert and Rihm will be released in October 2025. Performances have taken them to Konzerthaus Berlin, Mendelssohn-Haus Leipzig, and Aldeburgh’s Jubilee Hall. Another highlight is the performance of Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with the Jyväskylä Sinfonia, broadcast by Finnish Radio. Trained at the Hanns Eisler School in Berlin, they have worked with Jonathan Aner, Eldar Nebolsin, Troels Svane, and David Waterman.
