Harmony, creativity and a love of discovery: this is what the piano trio Orelon, founded in Cologne in 2018, stands for. They owe their name to the world language Esperanto, in which »Orelon« simply means »ear« and thus symbolises the many aspects of listening in music: listening to each other, listening to oneself, immersing oneself in the structure of the composition, feeling and hearing the connection between audience and artists during the concert.

Violinist Judith Stapf, cellist Arnau Rovira and pianist Marco Sanna met at the music academies in Cologne and Berlin. As Trio Orelon, they strive for harmony not only musically but also on a personal level. In doing so, they cultivate a curious and dynamic view of the works of their combination of instruments and combine this with an irrepressible energy and the desire for differentiated expression.

Symphonic density, homogeneous sound, »chamber musical intensity and emotion« (FAZ) – these qualities were attributed to the Trio Orelon not long after its founding. After their first concerts, the trio was selected for a scholarship by the Werner Richard - Dr. Carl Dörken Foundation in the summer of 2019 and subsequently made guest appearances at numerous renowned chamber concert series.

In July 2022, the Trio Orelon won first prize and the special prize for the best interpretation of the compulsory piece at the competition »Franz Schubert and the Music of Modernity« in Graz, Austria.
