A trio of siblings at Siljustøl with a highly personal programme .

TrioBauge consists of the Kyvik Bauge brothers Sverre and Einar and their sister Ragnhild , and was formally instigated in 2014 . Since then they have given their own concerts at the Risør Chamber Music Festival , the Oslo Grieg Festival and the Smöga Chamber Music Festival . In 2016 TrioBauge was invited to New York to perform in the concert series Chamber Music Live in LeFrak Concert Hall , and in 2017 they make their Bergen International Festival debut with their teacher and pianist Vebjørn Anvik .

For the concert the trio has chosen works by Mozart , Kodály and Sæverud . The concert opens with Knut Nystedt ’ s String Trio , which has special significance for them : the composer was a family friend , and his son personally encouraged Sverre , Einar and Ragnhild to perform the work .
