He became a BBC Radio 3 NGA in 2019.

Formed in 2017 at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the Mithras Piano Trio studied with leading professors and received coaching and masterclasses from top performers such as András Keller, and the quartets Endellion, Takács, Danish and Emerson. The Trio has been praised for “their exquisite phrasing, full-blooded commitment and bold, passionate colours”. They have performed at major London venues including the Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room. They were appointed BBC Radio 3 NGA’s in 2021. Their Glynde concert takes place on Saturday, 14th May, playing works by Beethoven, Ran and Dvorak.
