The Mitsu Trio was formed in 2020 by British pianist Tyler Hay, Japanese cellist Akito Goto and Catalan violinist Laura Custodio Sabas. All three members met at the Purcell School for Young Musicians when they were just teenagers, where they formed a strong musical connection.

Aside from the vast standard repertoire for piano trio, the Mitsu Trio enjoy exploring less played composers, such as Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů and Brazilian composer Henrique Oswald, with on going plans of the trio’s debut album with music of the latter. They are also strong advocates of contemporary music, having given the world premiere of Simon Speare’s piano trio, and having held workshops with the young composers at the Purcell School for Young Musicians.
