Trio Somni successfully emerged on concert stage throughout Europe in 2018. From 2020 violinist Nils Friedl joined the founding members Ionas Mercadal (clarinet) and Nino Gurevich (piano).

This musical group is truly a joyful friendship of like-minded, passionate musicians who are able to communicate their musical ideas masterfully both with each other and with audiences who enjoy their high quality music-making. Two high talented virtuous young musicians with an experienced professional pianist deliver ardour, excellence, dynamic interpretation, sensitivity, virtuosity, offer wide range of repertoire and a unique sound colour.
