Currently Ensemble-in-Residence for Washington DC's Embassy Series, Messiah College as well as Chamber Music in Grantham, PA, the Mendelssohn Piano Trio is one of the most exciting ensembles on the national and international music scene. The ensemble has performed and gave master classes in a variety of venues nationwide and abroad, including universities, colleges, art academies, and music festivals, as well as an international radio feature of Voice of America. The performance highlights of the Trio's upcoming 10th season are: National Concert Hall in Taipei Taiwan, National Gallery of the Arts, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Embassy Concert Series, Black Rock Center of the Arts, Austin Chamber Music Festival, and many others. Their fourth & fifth CDs have been released under the Centaur label with music of J. Suk, B. Smetana, and F. Mendelssohn. The Washington Post has described the group's Brahms cycle of piano trios and piano quartets presented by the Embassy Series as "unfathomably beautiful", "transcendent" and "electrifying". In 2002 the group presented a cycle of the complete Beethoven piano trios in Portugal and Washington DC to critical acclaim. The American Record Guide and Fanfare magazines have praised the trio's recordings released on Centaur Records and numerous classical music stations in the United States have broadcast them. The trio's recent performance at the National Gallery of Arts was broadcasted on NPR's "Performance Today" program.
