Castle concerts

Avigail Bushakevitz, Ernst-Martin Schmidt and Constance Ricard founded the Franz Trio in 2017, shortly after playing their first concert together in France with works by Franz Schubert and Gideon Klein.

These two composers continue to be of great importance to them: they named their ensemble after Schubert and explore the classical Viennese repertoire, but are also increasingly interested in the Terezín composers such as Schulhoff, Klein and Krasa, as well as Jewish composers of the 20th century.

Their shared interest in literature, history and languages has enabled them to develop a very personal trio language, and they have spent the last few years familiarising themselves with the work of lesser-known composers such as Jean Cras and Dick Kattenburg.

For family reasons, they have so far focussed their concert activities mainly on Berlin and the surrounding area, with concerts at the Konzerthaus Berlin, the German Historical Museum, the Berliner Philharmoniker's lunch concerts and the Leo Baeck Award Ceremony. In the coming season, they will be giving concerts throughout Germany and are currently planning a tour of South Africa for 2024.
