The Bronkhurst Trio consists of three gifted and well-known musicians. The pianist, Henry Bronkhurst, studied at the Matthay School and at the Royal College of Music, where he won several Exhibitions and the Dannreuther Prize. He formed his Trio in 1924, and it was one of the first chamber music combinations to broadcast. The violinist, John Fry, studied under Blagrove and Pecskai. He is now professor of violin and viola at Trinity College of Music. The cellist, Edward Robinson, studied under W. E. Whitehouse, and is now professor at the Walenn Violoncello School and plays regularly for several well-known string quartets, including the Charles Woodhouse Quartet.
