For almost 20 years, the Vienna Piano Trio has been performing regularly in virtually every major music center in Europe, the Americas, Australia and the Far East.

The trio was founded by violinist Wolfgang Redik, cellist Marcus Trefny and pianist Stefan Mendl in 1988. Extensive studies with various highly renowned musicians paved the trio’s way to an international career soon after. The most important teachers and mentors of the ensemble include Isaac Stern, Ralph Kirschbaum and Joseph Kalichstein as well as the members of the Trio di Trieste, the Beaux Arts Trio, the Guarneri Quartet and the LaSalle Quartet. In the summer of 2001, Matthias Gredler replaced Marcus Trefny as the trio’s cellist.

The Vienna Piano Trio regularly performs at music festivals such as the “Schubertiade Schwarzenberg”, the festival “Aix en Provence”, the “Mozartwoche Salzburg”, the “Beethovenfest Bonn”, and others. The 2006/2007 season marked the inaugural season of the ensemble’s residency at the “Wiener Konzerthaus”, in 2011/12 the "Vienna Piano Trio"will be "Ensemble in Residence" at "Wigmore-Hall" in London. The Vienna Piano Trio’s discography includes works by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Dvoøák, Shostakovich and Schnittke, all released on the British label Nimbus Records. Its recordings have earned the trio highest critical acclaim as well as several awards (Gramophone Editors Choice, BBC Radio 3 "Record of the Month", The London Times Classical Album of the Year).

In the summer of 2002, the Vienna Piano Trio recorded all of Franz Schubert’s piano trios for the label MDG (Musikproduktion Dabringhaus & Grimm).
