Le Trio GOODMAN




One evening in a gala concert at the Fontainebleau Castle,
three seasoned chamber music artists got together
to share their passion for playing music in concert.
Having already won major awards for their
musical artistry as soloists and for ensemble playing
(Grand Prix at the Concours International d¹Evian,
Paderewski Prize of New York, UNESCO prize ... )
the musicians of the GOODMAN TRIO,
flute, viola and cello have taken on a new
creative challenge as they bring beautiful works
from the Rennaissance, Baroque, Classical,
Romantic and Contemporary periods
to audiences across Europe, all in the
spirit of joyful music making
which so characterizes
the performances of
this unusual
trio.




I was moved and impressed, they bring great pleasure to all who hear them...

an impressive mosaic brilliantly played with great elegance and intelligence...
