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 Âthe romantic fervor of the 20th century greats.Â
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 LondonÂs 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 ValleyÂs "Music in the Vineyards" have played home to their summer
performances. Radio programs including Saint Paul Sunday Morning, NPRÂs
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.
