Since winning the prestigious Naumburg Chamber Music Award in 1989, the Peabody Trio has established itself as one of the leading piano trios in the world. Equally committed to the classics of the repertoire and to important new works, they bring to their music making what The Washington Post calls “the romantic fervor of the 20th century greats.”
The Peabody Trio gave its New York debut in 1990 at Alice Tully Hall and has since performed in the most important chamber music series in New York, Washington, DC, Chicago, Denver, Vancouver, Montreal, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston and Philadelphia. Internationally, they tour frequently in England, making repeat appearances at London’s Wigmore Hall, and in Japan and Israel. Their reputation as champions of new music garnered them an invitation to the first Biennale for contemporary music, Tempus Fugit, in Tel Aviv. Festivals including Tanglewood, Ravinia, Skaneateles, and Napa Valley’s "Music in the Vineyards" have played home to their summer performances. Radio programs including Saint Paul Sunday Morning, NPR’s Performance Today, Morning Pro Musica, CBC, Radio-Canada, and the WQXR Listening Room in New York have broadcast their performances. The Peabody Trio collaborates frequently with such eminent artists as clarinetist Charles Neidich, violists Roger Tapping and Maria Lambros, soprano Phyllis Bryn-Julson, and actor Andre De Shields. Working with Walter van Dyck and Elizabeth Mansfield, the Peabody Trio is at the forefront of chamber music theater with a series of innovative, collaborative projects involving piano trio and actor. The Peabody Trio currently serves as the resident faculty ensemble of the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, a position they have held since 1989. They are frequently asked to perform educational residencies for chamber music organizations and have served as visiting professors at universities and conservatories both in the United States and abroad. They spend summers as ensemble-in-residence at the Yellow Barn Music School and Festival in Putney, Vermont.
