Since its inception in 2006, The New Trio has appeared throughout the United States to popular and critical acclaim, emerging as one of the preeminent piano trios of its generation. The Trio won the Grand Prizes at the 2008 Fischoff and 2007 Coleman National Chamber Music Competitions and the First and Audience Choice Prizes at the 2007 Plowman Chamber Music Competition. Most recently, the Trio was named the winner of the Harvard Musical Association’s 2010 Arthur W. Foote Prize.

The Trio has given performances at prominent American venues such as Alice Tully Hall and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, Jordan Hall in Boston, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Additionally, the Trio has been presented by chamber music societies and festivals including: The Cleveland Chamber Music Society, Chamber Music Tulsa, The Friends of Chamber Music of Reading (PA), Fonatana Chamber Arts (Kalamazoo, MI), BIG ARTS (Sanibel Island, FL), The Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival (Blue Hill, ME) The Perlman Music Program (Shelter Island, NY), The Olympic Music Festival (Quilcene, WA), and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

In 2008, the trio shared the stage with violinist Itzhak Perlman at Pro Musica Hebraica’s inaugural concerts in New York City and Washington, D.C and also appeared at the Juilliard School’s Perspectives on African-Americans in Music, performing Adolphus Hailstork’s Piano Trio.  In 2007, they performed for the memorial concert for famed political historian Arthur Schlesinger at the Cooper Union’s Great Hall in New York City where actress Lauren Bacall, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the late Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy, and former President Bill Clinton spoke. Since 2007, the Trio has championed Michael Stephen Brown's Second Piano Trio, written expressly for them. 

The trio is deeply committed to re-connecting chamber music into communities through teaching and outreach. The trio has given lectures and master classes at Midwest Young Artists near Chicago, IL, The Culver Academies in Culver, IN, high schools in the Pennsylvania area, and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

The New Trio’s members hold artist diplomas and doctoral degrees from the Juilliard School, Yale University and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.  It has been in residence at the Juilliard School and New England Conservatory, where they worked intensely with the Weilerstein trio, Emanuel Ax, Robert McDonald, Mark Steinberg, Bonnie Hampton, Joseph Kalichstein and Charles Neidich.  The ensemble graciously welcomes cellist Patrick Jee to the trio this season.
