The Tempus Trio was founded with the desire to explore the great repertoire for piano trio and, at the same time, to seek a contemporary dialogue to continue developing their ensemble’s literature. Critics have described them as one of the most  promising of its generation, achieving important successes in various international competitions; they have been awarded the first prize of the International Music Competition ‘Grand Prize Virtuoso’ in Brussels, the Platinum Medal (First Prize) of the ‘WPTA Singapore International Music Competition’, the Silver Medal of the ‘2nd Vienna International Competition’, the special prize of the ‘BBVA Chamber Music Competition’ and the third prize of the ‘Rising Stars International Competition Berlin’. In 2023 they won the first prize ex-aequo at the international competition “Città di Padova” and the first prize at the “Petrichor International Competition” in New York, USA.

The Tempus Trio is currently finishing a Master’s degree in Chamber Music at the Mozarteum University of Salzburg with Professor Cibrán Sierra Vázquez, violinist of the Quiroga Quartet. They are regularly invited by the European Chamber Music Academy (ECMA, Vienna) and they are selected to join the artistic network “Le Dimore del Quartetto” (Milan).

Their professional career encompasses a versatile facet that has taken them to important festivals and masterclasses in the European concert scene. They were “Artistas en Ruta” (Artists en route) as the AiE foundation (Artists and Players of Spain) selected them during the 20/21 season. Presently, they are enjoying an artistic residency at JMM (Moià’s Musical Youth Association, Spain).
