The Trio NONAME consists of leading experts in the field of Early Music who brought their performances to the major cultural cities all over the globe.

The ensemble concentrates on music between roughly 1580 and 1780. An important guideline in its performances are the aesthetic aspects of the various stylistic epochs, without making the mistake of stepping in rigid performance patterns governed by dogmatic musicological attitudes.

The Trio members all have their international concert experiences as both soloists and ensemble musicians. They regularly perform and record with musicians and orchestras such as Gustav Leonhardt, Frans Brüggen, Trevor Pinnock, The Orchestra of the 18th Century, Camerata Köln, The Norwegian Baroque Orchestra, The English Concert, &c. They appeared at major festivals in France, Germany, the UK, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, the USA, Australia... and concert halls like The Wigmore Hall, Sydney Opera House, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Opera Garnier Paris, Philharmonie Berlin...

Between them, their musical activities can be heard on a total of more than 200 recordings on major CD labels such as Virgin, Philips, DGG/Archiv, Harmonia Mundi, Hyperion, &c. as well as in Radio- and TV– registrations all over the world.

The Trio's first joint CD was released for the Glissando label. Concerts were played in Germany, France, the UK, Portugal, The Netherlands and Norway.

They are active in the teaching field as professors at music academies in London, Köln, Hamburg & Frankfurt and in great demand as teachers at international master classes all over the globe.
