The Trio Deja Vu was founded in 2006 by two players from the renowned Wuerttemberg Chamber Orchestra of Heilbronn – the young violinist Konstanze Felber from Munich and the young cellist Gabriel Faur, who was born in Bucharest. The Polish pianist Maciej Szyrner completed the trio after the initial decision had been made to focus on chamber music.The trio’s principal ambition is to publicly present lesser known masterpieces of unjustly neglected composers. Since their inception, they have given many concerts, and these, without exception, have been most enthusiastically received by audiences and critics alike. “One would like to hear more from this very promising ensemble in the years to come,” wrote the Frankfurter Neue Presse.The ensemble has become a frequent guest at various well-known festivals and concert series such as the Weilburger Schlosskonzerte, Ottobeurer Konzerte, Hohenloher Kultursommer, Rosetti-Festtage im Ries, the Music Festival in Stuttgart, and others.Further information: www.triodejavu.comMaciej SzyrnerMaciej Szyrner was born in Posen, Poland.
