Austrian Trio 3:0 Ensemble performs for Indian kids

Austria's Trio 3:0 Ensemble performs for Indian students at Neemrana Foundation in Delhi.

The Trio 3:0 was never actually founded; it more or less just happened, quite unintentionally.

In the course of the many events held in Salzburg in 2006 to celebrate Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 250th birthday, Eva Steinschaden, Detlef Mielke and Alexander Vavtar found themselves performing together. The occasion was the world première of a chamber opera, Der Zauberspiegel [The Magic Mirror] by the Austrian composer Ludwig Nussbichler. Although they had never before played as a trio, the three musicians – all of whom had wide experience in all kinds of chamber music – knew each other (Salzburg is a village!), and embraced the project with enthusiasm. It worked like magic. The press reported: "A truly splendid conclusion to the 2006 Mozart anniversary. Certainly one of the most unpretentious and lasting contributions to the Mozart celebrations."

After this success, the three went their separate ways, with no thoughts of founding a trio, and – musically speaking – lost sight of one another.

In 2008, it was once again contemporary music that brought them together on the platform. This was the first Salzburg performance of Friedrich Cerha's Piano Trio (2005), on the invitation of Aspekte Salzburg, a festival of New Music. The collaboration was once more exciting and rewarding, if quite strenuous, since Cerha demands from musicians just about all they can give. Once more, it was a triumph. The composer, who was present at the performance, pronounced himself delighted with the successful performance of his work, and the press reported "a top-quality performance which could not but be received with enthusiasm".
Once again, the three lost sight of one another after the concert – why found a trio?

In 2010, history repeated itself, under similar conditions – once again, for a recital of contemporary music organised by Aspekte Salzburg. This time the programme included the world première of a new work by Gerhard Wimberger and a performance of a piano trio by Gerald Resch. The result was yet another fantastic performance, greeted with exuberant applause by composers and audience alike.

But – put a name to the ensemble? No – whatever for?
In 2011 there followed a concert in Vienna, once again with a contemporary focus, but also including music by Franz Schubert, and in 2012 a concert in Wels, with exclusively contemporary works, earning the three musicians unanimous praise in the press.
It was not until the journey home from Wels that the decision was at last taken to form a piano trio and put a name to it.

This is how 3:0 came to be, through fate and fortune – not on the drawing-board, but out of sheer pleasure in making all kinds of music together and bringing first-rate interpretations to interested audiences.
