Cronopius Trio

The Cronopius Trio was founded in 2022 by musicians living in Vienna, hailing from Mexico and Chile. Its members—Amelia Bernal (flute), Juan L. Cuamatzi (cello), and Florencia Hernández (piano)—have set themselves the goal of promoting the repertoire composed for this ensemble, which is rarely performed. Additionally, the trio's members host the concerts themselves to bridge the distance that often arises between audience and artists in concert halls, making the concert experience closer and more familiar by involving the audience and turning them into active listeners of the chamber music repertoire.

Juan López Cuamatzi (Cello), from Mexico, is a multi-instrumentalist (cello, electric bass, viola da gamba, piano, guitar) and composer. He was a member of the Angelopolitana Chamber Orchestra, the Camerata Puebla, the BUAP Symphony Orchestra, and the Fo-Guang-Shan Orchestra Vienna. As a composer, his works were premiered at the "Leicht über Linz" festival (2022, 2023), and his large string quartet was premiered at the Brucknerhaus Linz.

Amelia Bernal Osorio (Flute)

Amelia, originally from Mexico, began her musical education at the Conservatory of the State of Puebla. As principal flutist, she toured with the Angelopolitana Chamber Orchestra in the USA (2012) and Italy (2013). In 2018, she settled in Austria, where she earned a diploma in Concert Performance with highest distinction at the Wagner Conservatory and won first prize at the International Prof. Dichler Competition in 2021. She is currently studying for a Master of Arts Education at the Music and Arts Private University of the City of Vienna. She has performed at various venues in Mexico, the USA, and Europe, including the Konzerthaus in Vienna.

Florencia Hernández (Piano)

Florencia Hernández, from Chile, completed her Bachelor's degree in Piano Performance at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. She subsequently continued her education in Austria, specializing in Piano Pedagogy with a focus on Jazz and Popular Music at the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.

She is a prize-winner of several competitions, including the Claudio Arrau Piano Competition and the Intérpretes del Siglo XXI Competition. As a soloist and ensemble pianist, she has performed in important concert halls in Chile and Austria, including the Teatro Municipal de Santiago, Teatro del Lago, the Musikverein, and the Konzerthaus Vienna.

Currently, she is completing a Master's degree in Instrumental (Vocal) Pedagogy at the mdw, alongside a Master's degree in Song Accompaniment at the Music and Arts Private University of the City of Vienna. In addition to her artistic activities, she teaches piano at the Kreuzenstein Music School.
