Cygnus Trio demonstrates the ability of music to transcend physical and geographical boundaries, uniting the cities of Valencia and London.
In Valencia, Javier Montañana and César Saura initially studied together, forming a duo, before enrolling at the Royal Academy of Music, where they respectively specialised in violin with Richard Deakin and in piano with Daniel Ben-Pienaar and William Fong. In London, Hannah Lewis won a scholarship to continue her cello studies with David Smith, also at the Royal Academy. In 2012, the three musicians formed Cygnus Piano Trio, based between Valencia and London.
They are currently enrolled in the advanced course at the Walter Stauffer Academy in Cremona, where they are followed by Quartetto di Cremona Quartet, while also following the teachings of Richard Deakin, Michael Dussek and Nicholas Roberts. They also participated in masterclasses with musicians such as Pascal Devoyon, Raphael Walfisch and Alfred Brendel.
