“Not by chance did the trio name itself after the son of the Greek Sun God Helios. Phaeton, the shining one, drove his father’s sun chariot harnessed with four fiery steeds across the sky during the day, returning at night to the sea. As demanding the name is, so fantastic is the ensemble”.   —IPF-UND JAGD ZEITUNG

The Phaeton Piano Trio with Friedemann Eichhorn, violin, Peter Hörr, cello, and Florian Uhlig, piano — three German artists with an international career as chamber musicians and soloists — is based in Weimar, Germany. As soloists, the artists have been successfully touring the major stages throughout Europe, in Asia and North and South America for more than twenty years.

Since joining forces in 2017, the trio has been invited to concertize throughout Germany, in the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Italy, Turkey, in South America and China. Among recent European engagements are performances at the MozartfestWuerzburg, Strauss TageGarmisch, the SWR with a Saint Saens recording project, at the Deutschlandfunk Cologne.  On its first tour to North America in February of 2020, the trio made its most successful U.S. debut at the Library of Congress, where Friedemann Eichhorn was given the honor of playing – from its collection – the Library’s Kreisler Guarneri delGesu. The trio has since, among others, appeared to great acclaim at the Frick Collection in NYC, in Princeton,  Cleveland, San Jose, CA,  in Calgary and at the Ottawa Music and Beyond Festival where it appeared in three successive summers between 2023 and 2025.
