Bernstein Trio

The Bernstein Trio was founded in 2022 and consists of Roman Tulchynsky, Marei Schibilsky and Julia Stephan. The musicians met at the Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Music High School in Berlin and are now studying at the Berlin University of the Arts and the Hanns Eisler School of Music Berlin. As an ensemble, they receive lessons from Jonathan Aner at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music.

The Bernstein Trio has attended various masterclasses in Germany, France and Switzerland and has worked with artists such as Antoine Tamestit, Valentin Erben, Dirk Mommertz, the Artemis Quartet and the Vogler Quartet. It made its debut at the Rheingau Music Festival in summer 2023, where it received the HA Hessen Agentur GmbH sponsorship award. At the German Music Competition 2024, the trio was awarded a scholarship in the German Music Competition concert sponsorship program and received the special prize of the Friends of Young Musicians Meerbusch-Düsseldorf e. V. At the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy University Competition 2025 in Berlin, it won first place in the piano trio category, the Friends of Young Musicians Prize and the special prize for the interpretation of the commissioned work.

Since 2022, the Bernstein Trio has been a member of the Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now Berlin association, which supports young, particularly qualified artists and brings music to people who are unable to attend concerts due to their circumstances. All members of the ensemble are scholarship holders of the German National Academic Foundation.
