Trio Rodin, wtih a trajectory of more than 300 concerts, is becoming one of the most outstanding spanish ensembles of their generation. Founded in 2011 in Utrecht, with the aim of creating a common project out of three different personalities, they are acclaimed by critics for their intensity, expressivity and communicative style with the audience.

They are focused on presenting great works of the chamber music literature in a diverse range of performing venues and program styles from classical to contemporary music. They have been invited to play in the "Gaudeamus Muziekweek", festival dedicated entirely to the music of our days. Thanks to the programme "Call for Composers", they have premiered several new works dedicated to them by young international composers. Trio Rodin is recognized for their original arrangements. We would like to give special mention to their version of “Danzas Gitanas” by J. Turina, "Romeo and Juliet" by S. Prokofiev or "West Side Story" by L. Bernstein.
