The Tchaikovsky Trio was formed in Moscow in 1975 by Pavel Vernikov,
Konstantin Bogino and Anatoly Liberman. Since 2009 Alexander Chaushian has
become the trio cellist. Brilliantly continuing traditions of the Moscow and
St. Petersburg performance schools, the Tchaikovsky Trio has been the

in the genre of chamber music for many years.
At the beginning of their careers the musicians won in the following
International competitions: The ARD International Competition in Munich
(1979), Grand Prix of Vittorio Gui in Florence (1979), International
