Sutherland Trio

Sutherland Trio combines the wealth of experience belonging to three of Australia’s most distinguished musicians. Pianist Caroline Almonte, cellist Molly Kadarauch and violinist Elizabeth Sellars are international prize-winners who have played with chamber ensembles of the highest acclaim. Formed in 2011, Sutherland Trio gave their debut concert at Melbourne Recital Centre where they have since curated six subscriptions series. The Trio combines great classics of the chamber repertoire with exciting directions in composition worldwide. Named after the pioneering Margaret Sutherland who is considered the matriarch of Australian composition, Sutherland Trio pays tribute to her legacy by featuring a female composer in each of their Melbourne Recital Centre concerts.
International and Australian premieres have included works by Caroline Almonte, Katy Abbott, Lera Auerbach, Britta Bystrom, Richard Danielpour, Paul Grabowsky, Stuart Greenbaum, Missy Mazzoli, Christine McCombe and Mary Finsterer. The Trio’s most recent appearances have been for Musica Viva, ABC Classic FM, Benalla Art Gallery, the 3MBS Marathons, Elder Hall, Port Fairy Festival and Peninsula Summer Music Festival. Sutherland Trio are fellows at Medley Hall, The University of Melbourne.
