Sitkovetsky Trio live in Cologne

Experience Sitkovetsky Trio live on November 15th

The Sitkovetsky Trio is scheduled to perform at the Kölner Philharmonie in Cologne, Germany on November 15, 2026. The ensemble, comprised of Alexander Sitkovetsky (violin), Dimitri Kouznetsov (cello), and Wu Qian (piano), is renowned for its interpretations of the classical piano trio repertoire, alongside explorations of works from later periods. Their performances are characterized by a blend of technical precision, emotional depth, and a chamber music sensibility emphasizing collaborative interplay between the musicians. The trio frequently performs standard works by composers such as Beethoven, Brahms, and Schubert but also champions lesser-known pieces and contemporary compositions.

The Kölner Philharmonie, completed in 1986, serves as the primary concert hall for the Cologne Philharmonic Orchestra and hosts a diverse range of musical events. Designed by architect Hans Schwippert, it is notable for its acoustics and modern architectural style. The hall replaced an earlier Philharmonie destroyed during World War II. It’s situated within the Rheinauhafen area, a former harbor district revitalized with contemporary architecture.
