Our Story:
Trieste has been a cross-cultural meeting place for thousands of years. It has also been a home of some of the most important European musicians, most notably the legendary Trio di Trieste. It is in the vicinity of Trieste where the founders of the Trieste International Piano Festival met many years ago, sharing the same goal of musical studies with the Trio di Trieste and Trio di Parma. This shared passion for music became a foundation of a decades-long friendship and collaborations, always inspired and driven by the excellence of their mentors and the unique environment and people of the Trieste region. It is our great honor and pleasure to bring the next generation of music students to Trieste for diverse musical and cultural activities in this wonderful city and its region.
