MINERVA TRIO

​

Annie Yim (piano), Richard Birchall (cello) and Michal Cwizewicz (violin) formed the Minerva Trio in 2013. Regarded now as one of the most exciting trios in the UK, they work closely with a number of contemporary composers and are keen to collaborate with other art forms such as dance.  Their debut album Dance! was released in October 2022 and was praised for its “nuanced and imaginative creativity”.
