Trio Ex

Ex Trio was founded in 2022 by Mayu Tomotaki (violin), Hideaki Fujiwara (cello), and Kiana Reid (piano). Although it is a relatively newly formed group, Kiana and Hideaki have been playing together for many years and Hideaki and Mayu also played together in a string quartet. Hideaki played with Kiana at the 21st Okiden Sugarhall Competition and won the Grand Prize. At the same time, Kiana was awarded the Special Prize for Best Accompaniment. They had their début concert as a piano trio at the Hans Eisler school of music and are willing to expand their career. The musicians are studying in Berlin under the tutelage of Prof. Vineta Sareika at the University of the Arts Berlin.
