They have performed at festivals such as Musica con Vista, Kustendorf Classic and Ledamus, as well as in the most prestigious concert halls in Serbia, including the Grand Hall of the Kolarac Endowment, the Belgrade Philharmonic Hall and the City Concert Hall in Novi Sad. Particularly notable is their 2024 concert tour across Serbian cities, realized with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia. The classical music magazine Muzika Klasika awarded the trio the Concert of the Year award for their performance at the Grand Hall of the Kolarac Endowment in November 2023. The music editors at Radio Belgrade 2 named the performance the best chamber music concert of 2023. “Absolute skill, expressiveness, virtuosity, cohesion, freedom and communication are integral parts of their performance. ” (Radio Belgrade 2) The Corda Piano Trio is the recipient of the City of Belgrade’s Despot Stefan Lazarević Award for Musical Creativity in 2023, with the jury praising the ensemble for its “perfect balance, exceptional potential and captivating stage presence” .

There are few ensembles on the international music scene capable of evoking such a sense of exhilaration throughout an entire performance. ” (Dr Srđan Teparić, Muzički limbo)
