Steinaa Trio — Maria Steinaa, Eva Steinaa, and Elias Holm.

The Steinaa Trio are the founders of From The Shadows Festival and one of the most promising young ensembles on the Danish classical music scene. In 2023, the trio was awarded Second Prize at DR P2's National Chamber Music Competition — a significant step in their growing presence.

The trio consists of flutist Maria Steinaa, oboist Eva Steinaa, and pianist Elias Holm.

Eva and Maria Steinaa are twin sisters and have performed together since childhood. Their close musical connection creates a rare intuitive unity, where phrasing, breath, and musical impulses merge naturally. Together with Elias Holm, they create a vibrant and dynamic musical dialogue characterised by presence, sonic curiosity, and a strong sense of character.

The trio performs throughout Denmark and works with a broad repertoire ranging from early music to contemporary works. In recent years, they have developed a particular focus on music by female composers.
