15 TRIO PANTOUM Competitions are an essential step for any ensemble wishing to gain recognition. The musicians of the Trio Pantoum are well aware of this, and in 2023 alone they took part in six major international chamber music competitions, in Vienna, Lyon, Osaka and Munich, winning prestigious awards. Efforts and sacrifices which, BoGeun stresses, have proved beneficial even beyond their media and professional impact: ‘That year demanded a great deal of hard work from us, and has enabled us to make progress both instrumentally and in the way we explore a work in depth, in all its facets. As the competitions progressed, our perseverance paid off, and at the end of the day we approached the Munich competition with a feeling of liberation, enabling us to really let go.’
