With artists from around the world the Delphine Trio won the Chamber Music Prize at the 2025 Royal Over-Seas League Music Competition. Beethoven’s early “Gassenhauer” Trio, nicknamed after its jaunty set of variations on a catchy operatic tune that was earworming its way around the backstreets (Gassen) of old Vienna, prefaces thirtysomething French composer Camille Pépin’s 2018 set of impressionistic miniatures inspired by famous woodblock images of old Tokyo. To end, a lushly post-Romantic 1925 Trio by Carl Frühling, an unjustly forgotten Austrian-Jewish composer recently championed by the great cellist Steven Isserlis for “the unpretentious warmth, the humour, the gentle charm of his style”.

About the Delphine Trio
Founded in 2020 at the Royal College of Music, the Delphine Trio brings together three passionate young musicians from all around the globe: Australian clarinetist Magdalenna Krstevska, Dutch cellist Jobine Siekman and South African pianist Roelof Temmingh.
In February 2024, they released their debut album Adrift with Dutch label TRPTK which was praised in numerous publications for “shining a light on some beautiful hidden gems of the clarinet trio repertoire". The Delphine Trio were Artists in Residence at Leighton House London 2023-24. They were finalists in the 2022 Royal Overseas League Competition in London and have recorded at Abbey Rd Studios. Performances at UK music festivals and series include Buxton International Festival and the Royal Albert Hall Classical Coffee Morning Series.
In the Netherlands the Delphine Trio have played live on NPO Radio Klassiek numerous times and in series such as the Amsterdam Grachtenfestival.
The Delphine Trio are keen to contribute new music to the repertoire for their combination. As well as arranging music themselves, they enjoy working with composers on new commissions, and most recently premiering a trio by Simon Rowland-Jones.
The Steinway concert piano chosen and hired by the Brighton Festival is supplied and maintained by Steinway & Sons, London.
