Trio Cantare was formed in 2021 by members Cahal Masterson, Piano, Gemma Ní Bhriain, Mezzo-Soprano, and Yseult Cooper Stockdale, Cellist.

Together they have performed at Drogheda Classical Music and Belfast International Arts Festival and have been broadcast live on Lyric FM. Individually they enjoy diverse careers in Ireland and internationally, working with ensembles such as Irish National Opera, Irish Chamber Orchestra, Opera Northern Ireland, Welsh National Opera, Ulster Orchestra and National Symphony Orchestra. As chamber and recital artists they have performed at festivals and series including Music for Galway, Kilkenny Arts Festival, Music for Wexford, Finding a Voice, and West Cork Music.

The three remained friends after graduating from the Royal Irish Academy of Music in 2014, and it was a love of chamber music and an interest in highlighting women composers that lead to the formation of the ensemble. They find the repertoire for their unique combination especially rewarding and they look forward to further exploring the natural pairing of cello and voice upon the piano’s rich harmonic canvas.
