The violinist of The Ediva Trio, Agatha Parkin, is from Lincolnshire, England, where she gained much of her early performance experience in local concerts and festivals. She won the Open String Repertoire Trophy at the Grantham Music Festival three times by the age of twelve; gave her first solo recital at St Wulfram's, Grantham, when she was thirteen; and performed Vaughan Williams' 'The Lark Ascending' there when she was sixteen.

When she was ten, Agatha was leader and soloist for a group of young musicians who performed a Vivaldi concerto with Nicola Benedetti before a near-capacity audience at Leeds Town Hall. She has given two pre-concert performances at Nottingham Royal Concert Hall, as well as a lunchtime recital at Nottingham Theatre Royal in 2023, which drew an audience of over two hundred people.

Agatha began her studies at the age of four, with local teacher Laura Gardiner, before working for a year with Cynthia Fleming, former leader of the BBC Concert Orchestra. Then, at the age of twelve, she became a private student of Rodney Friend, former leader of the London Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic and BBC Symphony orchestras. In 2023, she was awarded a major scholarship by the Royal Academy of Music, where she continues her studies with Prof. Friend.

Tianao Pan started playing the piano at the age of three, and the cello at age of seven. Two years later, he was admitted into the Special School for Young Musicians at the Central Conservatory in Beijing. In 2016, he progressed to the Beijing Central Conservatory Middle School and studied there for two years. From 2017 to 2018, Tianao was the vice principal cellist of the China Youth Symphony Orchestra. He was also the principal cellist of the Chinese Youth Orchestra.

Subsequently, he has studied at The Purcell School, The Juilliard School, and the New England Conservatory, where he held the Presidential Distinction Award.
