Trio Orlando is one of the most prominent Croatian chamber ensembles. Their first concert was in 1985 at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival. The Trio was then composed of pianist Vladimir Krpan, violinist Tonko Ninić and cellist Ksenija Janković. Ksenija Janković was soon replaced by cellist Andrej Petrač. Suggested by academician Igor Kuljerić, who was the director of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, the three musicians named their trio after the award given to the most successful performers at the festival. Trio Orlando have expanded their performances to other festivals in the country and abroad. They have appeared around Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro, as well as in Austria, Italy, Hungary, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. The Trio has also recorded for numerous radio and television broadcasts. Their repertoire consists of standard pieces of chamber music, but Trio Orlando also systematically promotes Croatian musical tradition and encourages contemporary Croatian composers to write new pieces.
