The Fidelio Trio was formed in 1994 by three then scholarship students from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the Royal College of Music. In 1996 they won the ensemble class of the Tunbridge Wells International Young Concert Artists Competition and in November of that year made their South Bank Debut giving the UK premiere of Toru Takemitsu's 'Between Tides'. Since then they have performed in Hong Kong, France, throughout Ireland and the British Isles and have recorded for the BBC and RTHK Radio 4.

The Trio have commissioned many new works and recent UK premieres have included Edison Denisov's Trio at Conway Hall, Chick Corea's 'Addendum' at Blackheath Halls and 'Memory' by Toshio Hosokawa at The Royal Opera House.
 
The Fidelio Trio (Darragh Morgan, violin, Robin Michael, cello and Mary Dullea, piano) perform extremely diverse repertoire throughout Europe, Asia and South Africa and frequently broadcast for BBC Radio 3. Since their South Bank debut they have appeared at FuseLeeds, Reggello Festival and Contemporaneamente Festival, Lodi (Italy), West Cork Music, Belfast Festival at Queens, Royal Opera House, London, Corsham Festival, Musica Viva (Portugal) and Composer’s Choice Series, National Concert Hall, Dublin.
In 2009 they will undertake a concert tour of China and make their Wigmore Hall debut. CD releases in 2008 include Bulb on NMC D147 featuring trios by Kevin Volans, Donnacha Dennehy, Deirdre Gribbin and Ed Bennett, Metamorphoses, the chamber music of Icelandic composer Haflidi Hallgrimsson, on Delphian Records DCD34059, and Bartlebooth, the music of Joe Cutler, on NMC D134.

The Fidelio Trio have worked closely with many leading composers including Michael Nyman, Toshio Hosokawa and Howard Skempton and have premiered music by Salvatore Sciarrino, Edison Denisov, Beat Furrer and Toru Takemitsu. They are Music Network artists and the recipients of awards from PRS Foundation and the Arts Council of Ireland.

Active in the field of education, they have worked with composition and string/piano students at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Birmingham Conservatoire, Cardiff University, Royal Holloway University of London and Cork School of Music.
