TRIO
Internationally recognized as one of the leading guitar ensembles of today, the award-winning Salzburg Guitar Trio engages its audiences with their energetic presence and deeply emotional performances.
Their unique repertoire includes newly commissioned works for guitar trio and transcriptions of orchestral and keyboard works by the finest composers.
Ensemble
Salzburg Guitar Trio is comprised of Katie Lonson (Canada), Eliška Lenhartová (Czechia) and Andrew Booth (England). The ensemble was originally formed during their postgraduate solo guitar studies at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, Austria. Former members include Izan Rubio and Stefan Volpp. The ensemble welcomes new member Eliška Lenhartová in 2024.
“The concert by the Salzburg Guitar Trio has been one of the most mesmerizing and memorable concerts in our concerts series. Their virtuosity, timing and sound colour made three guitars sound like one. To have three plucked instruments play together in such a way is truly remarkable.”

“I enjoyed so much the arrangements of the Salzburg Guitar Trio, of the Cortège and Menuet by Claude Debussy from the Petite Suite. Marvellous! Fantastic the way they sing together, the flexibility, this is a fantastic taste for this kind of music.”
“It has been such an amazing experience listening to the Salzburg Guitar Trio. Their sound and their phrasing are so remarkable. Besides all the qualities they show, they have this natural way of interacting and listening to each other that is very communicative. It makes their playing so interesting.”
