Houston Friends of Music

February 9, 2010

Houston Friends of Music presents Trio Solisti, Tuesday, February 9, 2010, in Stude Concert Hall on the Rice University campus.

Hailed as "the most exciting piano trio in America" by The New Yorker Magazine, Trio Solisti has earned a reputation for its passionate, committed, and adventurous performances marked by exquisite individuality of expression and seamless ensemble playing. These qualities have drawn high praise from such journals as The New York Times (“...consistently brilliant....and compelling.”) and The Washington Post (“...zealous abandon in a transcendent performance.”)

The Trio’s cutting edge verve and mastery across a wide spectrum of styles has garnered superlatives not often encountered in the piano trio genre. This versatility also extends to new music, most notably to the works of 2004 Pulitzer Prize-winner Paul Moravec.

Highlights of 2009 - 2010 include performances at The Kennedy Center, where they make their debut on the prestigious Fortas Chamber Series, in Houston for the renowned Houston Friends of Music Series, tours of the west coast and southern US, among others.

In addition to numerous appearances around the U.S., they have been broadcast nationally on “St. Paul Sunday” and NPR’s “Performance Today.”

"Trio Solisti is making a big splash on the chamber music scene and for good reason." ~Deseret News
