Trio Musae was formed in September 2024 by young passionate musicians studying at the Royal College of Music in London. Now in their second undergraduate year, Kenza, Louis and Rebekah have given a variety of performances and participated in masterclasses with acclaimed artists such as Darragh Morgan, John Myerscough, Alasdair Beatson and Simon Callaghan.

Arno Babajanian was an Armenian composer during Soviet times; his piano trio of 1952 brought him immediate acclaim. His musical style is rooted in Armenian folk music and folklore with influences of Sergei Rachmaninov, Aram Khachaturian and Sergei Prokofiev.

Trio Musae is a member of the Piano Trio Society and is generously supported by Talent Unlimited. It was honoured to have been selected as Hans Keller Artists for the 2025/26 season.
