Tier 3 Trio
In Autumn 2020, in the midst of the Coronavirus, in a time when concert halls were closed and live music non-existent, three musicians, Joseph, Daniel and Jonathan, were desperate to find people to play music with.
Joseph searched for musicians in his local area and was delighted to find Dan who then contacted Jonathan who also lives nearby, and the Tier3 Trio was born!
The January lockdown temporarily prevented us from rehearsing and performing until the Spring of 2021, when we began giving outdoor concerts to 30 people - the maximum allowed under the restrictions at that time.
Now we are delighted to be able to perform indoors to larger audiences.
We had a fantastic time presenting the Paddock Wood Proms in October, a series of Chamber Music concerts in the heart of Kent, at St Andrew's Church, Paddock Wood, and look forward to doing the same next year.

Joseph Wolfe, violin
Joseph Wolfe is an inspired young conductor with remarkable insight. He has a wide repertoire ranging from the Baroque to the music of 21 century, all of which he conducts with great technical ability, sensitivity and passion. He has the ability to draw the most out of his players – inspiring them with his own fervour to produce totally gripping performances.
The concert was certainly not lacking in emotional heat. Colin Davis’s son, Joseph Wolfe, led the LSO in a really blazing performance of Berlioz’s Le Corsaire overture. The most intense moment came right at the end, when Wolfe made Elgar’s Sospiri burn with such tragic feeling we were all overcome. Ivan Hewett, The Telegraph
Having completed his studies in London, Dresden and Berlin, Joseph Wolfe has distinguished himself as a conductor of great musical integrity and sensitivity, working with top orchestras around the world. Being a violinist has greatly informed Joseph’s approach to conducting and chamber music has also been a profound influence.
Wolfe has worked with many of the UK’s leading orchestras including the London Symphony, London Philharmonic, City of Birmingham Symphony and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. He has conducted a critically acclaimed Schubert and Sibelius series with the London Philharmonic Orchestra at London's South Bank Centre, as well as making guest appearances with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, City of London Sinfonia, Manchester Camerata, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, the English Chamber Orchestra, the London Mozart Players, the Oxford Philomusica and the Ulster Orchestra in Belfast.
On the international stage, Wolfe has performed extensively with orchestras and opera companies in Europe and Asia. He has conducted ten performances of Jake Heggie's Dead Man Walking at Malmö Opera (several of which took place at the Royal Danish Opera in Copenhagen) and conducted concerts with ensembles including the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Bamberg Symphony, the Lutoslawski Philharmonic and Leopoldinum Chamber Orchestra, Wrocław, the Bavarian State Youth Orchestra and the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra in Dublin.
Since 2009 he is regularly invited to conduct in Asia and has worked on many occasions with the Japan Philharmonic, Sapporo Symphony, the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, the Kyoto Philharmonic Orchestras, the Hiroshima Symphony, the Tokyo City Philharmonic, Gunma Symphony Orchestra, Hyogo Performing Arts Centre Orchestra and the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong.
The soloists with whom Joseph has worked have nothing but praise for his accompaniment, notable among these are; Nicola Benedetti, Sarah Chang, Tasmin Little, Chloë Hanslip, Asako Urushihara, John Lill, Andre Watts, Michal Kanka and Jack Liebeck.

Daniel Grimwood, piano
Daniel Grimwood is best known as a world-leading exponent of 19thcentury virtuosic piano repertoire. Received with critical acclaim, Grimwood’s recordings and performances of the music of Adolph von Henselt ensure his international reputation as a groundbreaking, inspirational musician, marking him out as a unique voice amongst his generation of pianists. His recording of Henselt's Complete Etudes garnered "instant classic status" by Gramophone Magazine, which also named it piano release of 2023.
With an astonishing range of music within his repertoire, Daniel’s superlative level of pianism means that he is equally at home performing the music of J.S. Bach, as he is of Rubinstein or Liszt. In 2023 Daniel was invited to open the 34th Season of the highly prestigious Husum Piano Festival in Germany, with a stunning concert of works including Field, Blumenfeld, Liszt, William Sterndale Bennet, Henselt and his own transcription of Purcell's Chacony.
His discs of Liszt and Chopin, performed on an 1851 Erard piano, received a unanimous chorus of praise from the press; the Liszt album was Daily Telegraph CD of the week and Editor’s Choice in Gramophone Magazine.
Daniel has performed at many of the world’s leading concert halls, including the Wigmore Hall, Symphony Hall Birmingham, the Rachmaninoff Hall in Moscow, as well as venues in Germany, Austria, Italy, The Netherlands, Slovenia, Estonia, Taiwan, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Lebanon, Oman and Australia.
In demand for his thoughtful, innovative, and ingenious programming, Daniel enjoys a busy solo and chamber music career, and alongside Joseph Wolfe and Jonathan Ayling is a founding member of the Tier3 Piano Trio and the Paddock Wood Proms
Daniel's dynamic mastery of the piano is combined with a laser-like curiosity about composers, and historical performance practice. A highly informative and entertaining speaker, Daniel has thrilled audiences with his lecture/recital programmes.
He is currently a Research Associate at the University of York, specialising in 19th Century Performance Practice. Daniel's award-winning Urtext edition of the Adolph von Henselt Etudes is published by Edition Peters and his book about the Etudes of Adolph von Henselt has been met with enthusiasm. Daniel regularly performs on live broadcasts on BBC Radio 3, and has been featured in BBC Four’s TV documentary series “Revolution and Romance”.
His musical interest started as a 3-year-old playing the next-door neighbour's piano in Kent, and by the age of 7 he was performing in front of audiences. His training continued with Graham Fitch at the Purcell School, where he also studied violin, viola and composition, giving him a broad appreciation of classical music, and later with Vladimir Ovchinnikov and Peter Feuchtwanger.
Away from the piano, Daniel is a keen distance runner, and member of Paddock Wood Athletic Club.

It demonstrates that the composer finds himself at the pinnacle of his career."
