Trio 1887 was founded in 2015 by pianist Petra Gilming, violinist Sho Akamatsu and cellist Branimir Pustički. Graduates of the Zagreb Music Academy of different generations, they all enjoyed successful individual careers as laureates of international competitions (Pietra Ligure, Moncalieri and Pinerolo in Italy; Huml, Croatia; Novosibirsk, Russia; J. Brahms, Austria; W. Lutoslawski, Poland), soloists with orchestras or as chamber music partners to various international artists, before establishing national reputation as a chamber group, having been awarded the top prize and all special prizes at the 4th national competition "Boris Papandopulo" held in 2015 in Zagreb, Croatia. Since then, Trio 1887 is regularly invited to important festivals and venues in Croatia, such as the Osor Musical Evenings, Days of Milko Kelemen, Rector's palace in Dubrovnik or Vukovar chamber music festival. 2017 brings their international debut at the Elvermose festival in Denmark.
