Musicianship of the highest quality, even with the short Mozart
Arthur Winchester, Stowmarket
Quotes
‘Performances by Freddy Kempf’s cultivated Trio are sensitive, commanding and full of individual imaginative touches. They respond vividly to the vehemence and sinewy energy of the (Beethoven Trio No3) C minor; and they even justify their romantically slow tempo in the andante with the eloquence of their phrasing.’ The Telegraph
Biography
The members of the Ovid Trio have been playing together for many years, at festivals such as The International Musicians' Seminar Prussia Cove, Villa Musica and the Ravinia Music Festival in Chicago.
  
Katja Lämmermann violin, Mischa Meyer cello and Amalia Aubert viola are all winners of international competitions such as the International Music Competition of the ARD, the Max Rostal and Emmanual Feuermann Music Competition. In 2006 the Ovid Trio won second prize at the International Max Reger Chamber Music Competition and in 2007 the Boris Pergamenschikow for chamber music. Freddy Kempf is deeply committed to performing chamber music and has been playing with Katja and Mischa for some time.
