GRAND PRIZE WINNERS
‘As for the grand prize of $30,000, it went to Trio Marvin, a group worth watching for their dedication, insights, and a performance bravado that catches your breath.’
– Clive O’Connell, The Sydney Morning Herald
Violinist Marina Grauman and pianist Vita Kan were born in Russia, while Lithuanian-born cellist Marius Urba grew up in Germany. A shared passion for the music of Soviet composers brought them together as an ensemble in 2016, and only a few months later they were awarded prizes at competitions in Berlin and Italy.
In July 2018 they took out the Grand Prize at the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition. Trio Marvin bring a fiery brilliance to everything they touch. Hear them at the beginning of their international career as they play Fauré, Brahms and Shostakovich at UKARIA in a tour facilitated by Musica Viva Australia.
