The Coriolan String Trio combines the forces of chamber musicians from two renowned chamber groups, with a thirst for exploring and expanding on the repertoire for String Trio.

As chamber musicians they perform in some of the world’s most eminent concert halls, including Wigmore Hall, het Concertgebouw, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room, National Concert Hall, Dublin and Shanghai Oriental Arts Centre.  As founding members of the Finzi String Quartet, Ruth and Sara performed internationally, broadcast and recorded together until 2012. Robin was cellist in the critically acclaimed Fidelio Trio for over 10 years, with an extensive discography and premiering over 100 new works for the genre. Since first meeting in 2013, all three have enjoyed collaborating through Wye Valley Chamber Music Festival and projects at Kings Place, London.  They will tour in Scotland in 2017/18.
