Three young Belgian musicians – violinist Alice Van Leuven, cellist Paul Heyman and pianist Wouter Valvekens – formed the Trio Aries out of their mutual passion for chamber music and for the piano trio in particular.

Each of them received a broad education, both as soloist and chamber musician, in a world-renowned establishment: Alice at the Universität der Künste in Berlin, Paul at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste in Zurich and Wouter at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

The trio performs a broad repertoire ranging from classical to contemporary works and is committed to revealing its young and fresh vision of music to its audiences. The music itself is given extra power thanks to the trio’s search for various elements, one of which is the groove, the synthesis between timbre and timing that is an integral part of every piece of music.
