Full Biography
Standard performance time: 3 x 60 minutes (with breaks) - DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE FOR LESS THAN 3 HOURS' PLAYING TIME
The Berkeley Trio was formed by Edward Morton (violin) Sarah Blundell (viola) and Diana Bailey (cello) . The members of the Berkeley Trio are based in Kent and Surrey and they perform regulary in London and the South East.
Edward Morton took up the violin at the age of four under the tutilage of Teddy Bor and later continued his studies at the Royal College of Music London. He studied with various professors including Bernard Newland Christopher Warren Green Hugh Bean and Suzanne Rosza. He has had a long interest in contemporary music developing his techniques for performance with Oliver Knussen. He was a founding member of the Parke Ensemble a contemporary music group based in London with whom he worked with such eminent composers as Judith Weir. He now performs exclusively with The Berkeley Trio.
Diana Bailey studied the 'cello at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama London where her professors included Stefan Popov and Raphael Wallfisch. Her studies included extensive training in chamber music under the direction of Gordon Back and Paul Berkowitz with whom she specialised in piano trio performance. As well as working with the Berkeley Trio she is also an accomplished pianist and clarinettist.
Sarah Blundell studied the viola at the Royal College of Music and The University of Surrey prior to a period of training in performance at Goldsmiths College University of London. Her viola professors included Eileen Engelbrecht William Padel and Roger Best. Following extensive performance of chamber music with both small and large ensembles coached by experts including Sebastian Forbes and Norman Del Mar she now devotes her energies to performance with The Berkeley Trio.
Their repertoire contains music that is appropriate to be performed before the service during the entrance of the bride while the register is being signed and while the couple exit down the aisle. The live music created by The Berkeley Trio lends a particular intimacy to your service and certainly adds to the depth of the occasion. The music of a string trio is less intrusive than that of a string quartet for example and is perfectly suited to the wedding service. During the reception our style changes and they tend to perform a selection of popular music and light jazz classics. The music can provide a beautiful background to a reception for up to 100 people.
If you are arranging a party for a wedding anniversary we can usually provide music of the appropriate period. Live music always helps to develop a fun and lively atmosphere for your guests and we recommend that you give it a try!

Liz A booked Berkeley Trio for their Wedding in Essex
“Gemma at Alive Network was prompt in all correspondence, thus ensuring our booking was straightforward and removing the need for me to contact Alive Network to double check information. Berkeley Trio were incredibly professional and played beautifully at our wedding - I just wish that I had been able to listen to them more instead of being whisked away for photos all the time! The Trio played the music we had requested and were a joy to listen to. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and would love to book them again!”

Ally H booked Berkeley Trio for their Wedding in Berkshire
“The trio had a large repertoire so they were quite versatile from playing jazzy tunes when guests started arriving and were sitting down for a garden cream tea party to playing beautiful classical pieces for our ceremony- they even improvised in such a professional manner when the bridal party walked down the aisle. They took so long that the piece ended so when it was time for me (the bride) to walk down the aisle they quickly improvised and starting playing again so it looked as if it had been rehearsed all along...very impressed! They also chose a beautiful piece for the exit of the bridal party (as I was running around like a headless chicken the day before the wedding so missed to specify what we wanted)! We are also very grateful to Gemma from Alive Network who coordinated all the different bands we hired as well as offered outstanding customer service when it came to being flexible about being able to pay by card and asking the bands about our special requests!
