Haydn Trio Eisenstadt

**Haydn Trio Eisenstadt** is an Austrian chamber ensemble that's been bringing fresh energy to classical repertoire since forming in 1992. Based in Eisenstadt—a city deeply tied to Joseph Haydn, who worked there for the Esterházy family—the trio (Harald Kosik on piano, Verena Stourzh on violin, and Hannes Gradwohl on cello) specializes in Haydn’s works while embracing everything from Schubert to modern composers. They’ve made waves with projects like recording Haydn’s complete piano trios and diving into his charming but lesser-known *Scottish and Welsh Songs* series, which they’ve lovingly released in multiple volumes.

Beyond the classics, the trio collaborates with contemporary creators, premiering works by artists like Johannes Maria Staud or Bongani Ndodana-Breen, often blending historical roots with modern flair. You’ll catch them performing in iconic spaces like Esterházy Palace, where Haydn himself once conducted. With a knack for balancing scholarly depth and approachable charm, they’re like your coolest music-history professors—if those professors also rocked sold-out concert halls and snagged awards like the Pasticcio Prize.
