The name TRIO CONTRASTE was inspired by B\u00e9la Bart\u00f3k\u2019s composition Contraste, one of the first works included in the group\u2019s repertoire. At the moment, the ensemble includes flautist Ion Bogdan \u0218tef\u0103nescu, percussionist Doru Roman and pianist Sorin Petrescu. Each of the three musicians has an impressive solo career, but Trio\u2019s track record is also remarkable. In 1986 they were granted the Romanian Composers\u2019 Union Award, and in 1990 they were given a scholarship in Darmstadt – Germany. <\/p>\n\n
