Trio Havisham is an award-winning ensemble, founded by Zany Denyer and Magdalena Riedl in 2019, with Seth Collin joining in 2024. Their performances have been described as having "real flair while never losing that sense of balance" (CAVATINA 2022). They enjoy a diverse concert activity across the UK, performing at concert venues including Wigmore Hall, Université Lumière Lyon 2, Ambleside New Generation Artists Series and RNCM Concert Hall.
One of their most recent successes was winning 2nd prize at the Concours International de Musique de Chambre de Lyon in April 2023. Previously they were awarded 1st prize at the CAVATINA Intercollegiate Chamber Music Competition which was held at Wigmore Hall in May 2022. They also took part in and reached the Finals of the Birmingham International Piano Chamber Music Competition in November 2022 and during their previous studies at RNCM, they were chosen as the Christopher Rowland Ensemble of the Year. In 2025, they look forward to taking part in the 12th International Chamber Music Competiton: Franz Schubert and Modern Music, in Graz, Austria as one of 20 selected ensembles. >br /> They were grateful to be part of ChamberStudio UK's Hans Keller Forum 2023/24, which included three residencies in Cambridge and having won the Musicians' Company Award at Wigmore Hall, they are now part of their 5-year Young Artist Program. They have also been awarded the Tunnell Trust Music Club award which allowed them to make a tour of Scotland in 2023 and more recently, they were invited onto the Kirckman Concert Society for the 2024/25 season.
Zany and Seth are currently Postgraduate students at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, whilst Magdalena is a Postgraduate student and the Royal Academy of Music. Magdalena plays a violin by Enrico Ceruti kindly loaned to her through the Beare's International Violin Society.
