TRIO ARISONTO
Trio Arisonto is a London-based horn trio made up of violinist Ezo Sarici, horn player Annemarie Federle, and pianist Harry Rylance, all of whom met during their studies at the Royal Academy of Music.

Besides enjoying performing the core, albeit limited, repertoire for their ensemble, Trio Arisonto are also dedicated to expanding the world of horn trio works. They have premiered several of their own arrangements which have recently included works such as Wagner’s Tannhäuser Overture, Ravel’s Pavane pour une infante défunte, Schubert piano trios, and crowd-pleasers such as Piazzolla’s Libertango. They have also commissioned award-winning composer Gary Yershon to write them a piece in 2024 and are looking forward to working with other living composers.
