" A leading figure in Montreal's musical landscape "
Yannick Nézet-Séguin, conductor
The Trio
The Hochelaga Trio has distinguished itself on the international stage for the intensity of its performances, its artistic integrity, and the precision of its playing. Founded in 2000, the Hochelaga Trio has performed numerous concerts and tours in North America, Europe, and Asia. Highlights include its performance of Beethoven's Triple Concerto with the Tokyo New City Orchestra, the premiere of Jacques Hétu's Triple Concerto with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, and performances at London's legendary Wigmore Hall and Venice's Palazzetto Bru Zane.
For over 20 years, the Hochelaga Trio has also produced its own concert series in Montreal. The dozen recordings already released by the Hochelaga Trio have been warmly received by international critics.
The members of the Trio
The Hochelaga Trio brings together three exceptional musicians. Violinist Anne Robert , former concertmaster of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, enjoys a brilliant career as a chamber musician and teacher, and boasts a discography of over 40 albums. Cellist and composer Dominique Beauséjour-Ostiguy , winner of the 2018 Prix d'Europe, is distinguished by his expressiveness and commitment to new music. Pianist Dantonio Pisano , an award-winning soloist and sought-after teacher, is renowned for his virtuosity and musical sensitivity. Together, they offer a passionate and nuanced approach to the chamber music repertoire, blending tradition and innovation.
What cohesion! A true chamber music group in perfect harmony: everything is perfectly balanced: timbres, colors, equilibrium. Truly, this is a golden age for the trio!
