Background on The Australian Trio
The members of The Australian Trio are: Michael Brimer (piano); Donald Hazelwood (violin) and Georg Pederson (cello).
Michael Brimer has an unusually broad musical background as pianist, chamber musician, composer, organist, conductor and academic in London, Cambridge and Vienna, South Africa and Australia. His international solo performing career has flourished in tandem with the academic, with chairs of music at three universities in South Africa and Australia. The Australian Trio premiered his first piano trio in 2001 and his second piano trio last year for Musica Viva at Batemans Bay.
Donald Hazelwood was concertmaster of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra from 1965 to 1998. He was leader of the Austral String Quartet for many years and undertook four tours of Asia with the Hazelwood Trio.
Georg Pedersen studied with Paul Tortelier in Paris and Gregor Piatigorsky in Los Angeles, and was principal cellist of the Royal Danish Philharmonic, co-founder of the Dania String Quartet and the Copenhagen Chamber Soloists.
