Trio Sonnerie is an ensemble renowned for their expert performances of early music, with a focus on the Baroque period. Formed in the early 1980s, the group originally consisted of three British musicians: Monica Huggett (violin), Sarah Cunningham (viola da gamba), and Mitzi Meyerson (harpsichord). Trio Sonnerie quickly garnered acclaim for their historically informed performances using period instruments. The ensemble's name, which means "ring of sound," aptly reflects their pursuit of authentic and vibrant renditions of 17th- and 18th-century chamber music.

Over the years, their discography has expanded to include a wide array of composers, from well-known figures like Antonio Vivaldi and Arcangelo Corelli to less frequently performed composers such as Dietrich Buxtehude and François Couperin. Among their most recent releases are critically praised albums such as "La gamme," an exploration of Marin Marais' compositions, and "Rameau - Pièces de clavecin en concerts," highlighting the sophistication and elegance of Jean-Philippe Rameau's keyboard pieces. Trio Sonnerie's work demonstrates scholarly depth alongside their refined musicality, contributing significantly to the understanding and enjoyment of Baroque chamber music for modern audiences. Their performances have been lauded for their technical precision, interpretative grace, and the intimate, engaging atmospheres they create.
