AMSTERDAM, September 19/PRNewswire/ --

- Concert Master Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Joins the Renowned Piano
Trio

Violinist Vesko Eschkenazy (born in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 1970), since 2000
concert master of the Koninklijk Concertgebouw Orchestra, will succeed Peter
Brunt as the Osiris Trio's violinist. Vesko Eschkenazy studied at the
Bulgarian National Conservatory and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
He has been a laureate of many violin contests and was a soloist for many
renowned orchestras where he played with conductors, such as Ricardo Chailly,
Sir Colin Davis, Bernard Haitink, Kurt Masur, and many others, before
becoming the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's concert master in 2000.
Eschkenazy plays a 1738 Guarneri del Gesu violin.

The Osiris Trio (consisting of Eschkenazy, Ellen Corver at the piano, and
Larissa Groeneveld, cello) was founded in 1988, and has since been playing
all over the world. The trio has released six critically acclaimed CDs. Their
repertoire is broad and diverse, and ranges from Haydn's piano trio work to
the works of contemporary composers. The Osiris Trio was recently nominated
by the Classical Music Jury of the VSCD (Association of Theater and Concert
Management Boards) in the category of "most impressive performance by a
(small) ensemble for chamber music."

The Trio will perform in October of 2005 in Birmingham and Stratford upon
Avon, and will then visit the United States in November of 2005 with
performances in Washington, Hawaii and Michigan. They will revisit the United
States on another tour in March of 2006. Their new program includes work from
Smetana, Martinu, Dvorak, Bloch, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and others.

Because of earlier bookings, Vesko Eschkenazy will be replaced for
selected concerts of the Osiris Trio in 2005/2006 by Peter Brunt or Vera
Beths.
