Neave Trio, Trio

Biography

Hailed by critics for its “bright and radiant music making” (Robert Sherman, WQXR Radio), the Neave Trio has been described as “A revelation” (San Diego Story) and “A brilliant trio...” (MusicWeb International), who have “exceeded the gold standard and moved on to platinum” (Fanfare Magazine). The Boston Musical Intelligencer ranked the Neave Trio among the finest chamber ensembles of their generation, writing: “it is inconceivable that they will not soon be among the busiest chamber ensembles going” (Brightness and Radiance at Rockport, Steven Ledbetter). Trio members hail from the United States, Japan and Russia. 

One of the finest emerging young chamber ensembles, the Neave Trio has been enjoying tremendous international success on concert series and at festivals worldwide. In the USA, the Trio has appeared in Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, Boston’s Jordan Hall, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center/La Jolla Music Society, Fontana Chamber Arts, Laguna Beach Live!, Rockport Chamber Music Festival (as their “Rising Star” Ensemble), Syracuse Friends of Chamber Music, the Los Angeles Music Guild, the La Jolla Athenaeum, and as soloists with the Brown University Orchestra, the California Chamber Orchestra, and the Fall River Symphony Orchestra in Beethoven’s Triple Concerto. The Neave Trio has been broadcast on WGBH Radio (Boston) WXXI and WNYC Radio (New York) and were featured on the WQXR Radio (NYC) McGraw-Hill Financial Young Artists Showcase. 

The Neave Trio is fast distinguishing itself as an ambassador of music to a wider audience through innovative concert presentations. The trio collaborates with artists of all mediums; recent projects include award-winning and critically acclaimed performances with the Blythe Barton Dance Company at the 2015 San Diego International Fringe Festival.  In February 2014, in collaboration with composer Amanuel Zarzowski, the Neave Trio launched their interactive concert series "STEIN2.0," which seeks to expand the concert going experience to a wider audience, using audience participation and social media tools. 

As part of their mission to create new pathways for classical music and engage a wider audience, in 2017 the Neave Trio will produce four short films based on the tango music “Four Seasons” by Astor Piazzolla, in collaboration with LA filmmaker Pablo Barron. The Trio has held several important residency positions including those at Brown University, the Fisch/Axelrod Residency at San Diego State University, the prestigious Chamber Music Residency at the Banff Centre, at Providence College (Rhode Island) and the Gann Academy, Concord Academy, among others. 

In the Fall of 2017, the Trio will join the faculty of the Longy School of Music of Bard College as Faculty Ensemble in Residence. Recording projects include recently released début CD for the Chandos label: "American Moments", featuring works by Korngold, Foote and Bernstein, and an all-Piazzolla CD for the Azica label.  Highlights of the season include a visiting residency at Brown University and tours of the US, England, Spain and Japan.
