“From the moment the first notes of the trio by Claude Debussy reached my ears, I knew that this evening would be an unforgettable experience.” (I. León in La Jornada, Mexico)

“Otherworldly is the playing of the Gelius Trio” — Süddeutsche Zeitung

 

On the occasion of a CD production featuring works by the composer Dorothee Eberhardt, the musicians came together for the first time. Inspired by their collaboration, they founded the Gelius Trio in 1999, named after its pianist.
The trio is renowned for its shared musical breath that shapes the musicians’ phrasing, as well as for its beautiful tone, passion, and deep expressiveness.

The many years of experience of violinist Sreten Krstić as concertmaster of the Munich Philharmonic enrich the ensemble’s collaboration immensely. Since 2025, Andreas Heinig has been the trio’s cellist and impresses with his great expressive power. Meanwhile, Micael Gelius has the ability to make the piano sing, to accompany with sensitivity, and at the same time to display his pianistic finesse.

In addition to classical and Romantic works, the Gelius Trio’s repertoire also includes excursions into the worlds of tango and jazz, impressively documented on their CD Oblivion. The trio has also released four further recordings featuring works by Russian, French, and Bohemian composers, as well as by Clara Schumann.
The ensemble regularly appears at major festivals such as the Schleswig-Holstein Festival, the Musiksommer zwischen Inn und Salzach, and the Milstatt Concert Weeks.
