Acclaimed for its extraordinarily sensitive style, almost telepathic understanding of each other and technical mastery, the Paris-based Trio Wanderer is one of the world’s foremost chamber ensembles. Called a ‘Wandering Star’ by the Strad Magazine, the Trio has performed on the most prestigious music stages of the world: Berlin’s Philharmonie, Paris’ Théâtre des Champs Elysées, the Vienna Musikverein, London’s Wigmore Hall, Milan’s Teatro alla Scala, Barcelona’s Palau de la Musica, Washington’s Library of Congress, Rio de Janeiro’s Teatro Municipal, Tokyo’s Kioi Hall, Zürich’s Tonhalle and Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw. They have also performed at major festivals such as Edinburgh, Montreux, and Salzburg.

Their recordings have been awarded numerous major prizes including Choc du Monde de la Musique, Critic’s Choice and Editor Choice of Gramophone, and The New York Times declared their interpretation of Mendelssohn’s Piano Trios the new reference-point for these works, and their Schubert Trout Quintet and Hummel Quintet recording have been included in Forbes’s Top 100 Quality Music Library.

Among their many honours and awards, each of the Trio Wanderer’s members was honoured in 2015 with the rank of Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters of the French Republic (Chevalier dans l’ordre des Arts et Lettres).

Michael Collins’ dazzling virtuosity and sensitive musicianship have earned him recognition as one of today’s most distinguished artists and a leading exponent of his instrument. A winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition at the age of sixteen, he went on to make his US debut at New York’s Carnegie Hall at the age of twenty-two.. He has since performed as soloist with many of the world’s most significant orchestras and chamber ensembles. His chamber-music partners include the Belcea and Takács Quartets, the pianists Martha Argerich, Stephen Hough, Mikhail Pletnev, András Schiff, and Lars Vogt, and the string-players Joshua Bell and Steven Isserlis.

Michael Collins is a recipient of the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Instrumentalist of the Year Award, placing him amongst past recipients such as Itzhak Perlman, Mitsuko Uchida, Murray Perahia and Andras Schiff.
