play at the Radio France Festival featuring concerts throughout the French
Riviera culminating in a filmed concert at Le Corum, Montpellier. They were
also featured extensively on the Mezzo TV channel. Since then they have
performed internationally including Sweden, Denmark, France, United Kingdom and
New Zealand in 2011. They have featured in the Royal Opera House’s Lunchtime Recitals
series, The Copenhagen Summer Festival, Lund Chamber Music series and many other chamber music festivals
and venues.They regularly collaborate with other talented musicians in piano
quartets and quintets, flute and oboe quartets and other ensembles.
In the Trio Konstantin Boyarsky is joined by two talented young musicians:

In 2009 Benjamin was the youngest finalist in the prestigious YCAT (Young Concert Artists Trust) Competition at the Wigmore Hall and in 2011 was awarded 2nd Prize at the Postacchini International Violin Competition in Italy. He made his concerto debut aged 12 in Istanbul, Turkey and has since performed extensively across Europe as a soloist and chamber musician including festivals in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, France, Denmark, Sweden and New Zealand as well as major venues across the UK.
