We all studied at the same Toho Girls' High School Music Department and entered the music department of the university this year. Because we are friends who overcame high school together, we are able to perform with a breathtaking harmony in which the three instruments intertwine with each other beautifully.

For the past two years, we have performed in various concerts at music high school festivals, chamber music concerts planned by students, and other venues.

In November 2024, we performed at the friendship concert of Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, in the presence of the mayor, and received a favorable reception.

Like three colored dumplings, the three members are well-balanced and united as one to deliver a gorgeous tone.

They will perform all four movements of the Andante and Rondo in the program. We hope you will enjoy these masterpieces that are well worth listening to.
