Delphine Trio
The Delphine Trio brings together three passionate young musicians from opposite ends of the globe:
Australian clarinetist Magdalenna Krstevska, Dutch cellist Jobine Siekman and pianist Roelof
Temmingh, hailing from South Africa. Founded in
2020 at the Royal College of Music (London), the
Delphine Trio showcases a combination of individual
instrumental talent, intelligent and curious
music-making, and a passion for diverse repertoire.
Having each completed Masters’ degrees at the RCM,
each member of Delphine Trio was also awarded an
RCM Junior Fellowship – a rare combination.
The Delphine Trio are currently Artists in Residence at
Leighton House London. They were finalists in the
2022 Royal Overseas League Competition in London
and have recorded at Abbey Rd Studios. In February
2024 they released their debut album ‘Adrift’ with
Dutch label TRPTK. They have performed at UK music
festivals and series such as Buxton International
Festival, Banstead Arts Festival, the Kensington &
Chelsea Music Society Concert Series and the Royal
Albert Hall Classical Coffee Morning Series. In the
Netherlands they have performed in Almere,
Loosdrecht, and the Mosterdzaadje, and in 2022 were
awarded the Mengelberg Fonds bursary to participate in the Apeldoorn Masterclass series. They
have received coaching from esteemed musicians including Colin Lawson, Charles Neidich and Danny
Driver.
The Delphine Trio are avid proponents of diversity in classical music and aim to reflect this through
their exploration of repertoire and concert programming. Expanding their knowledge of
underrepresented works and composers, as well as new music, they have performed in numerous
diversity initiatives at the RCM, such as the FestivALL (the inaugural RCM diversity festival).
“.. the Delphine Trio looks set to become a major presence, with playing, and programming, full of
vitality and imagination.”
