The Boulanger Trio, formed in Hamburg in 2006, is named after the sisters Nadia and Lili Boulanger, who are a great source of inspiration for the trio.
The album title "Solitaires" refers to the uniqueness of each work, which, like diamonds, needs to be polished.
The Boulanger Trio collaborates with contemporary composers like Wolfgang Rihm and Johannes Maria Staud, and has its own concert series called "Boulangerie" where composers discuss their work.
The Boulanger Trio won the 4th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition in Norway in 2007 and the Rauhe Prize for Modern Chamber Music in 2008.
The Boulanger Trio aims to re-examine the piano trio genre by focusing on short, concentrated forms rather than lengthy works.
