The Jerusalem Trio, Piano, Violin, Cello
November 16, 2006

The Jerusalem Trio has established a major international career based on its thoughtful and passionate music making, both in live performance and with highly acclaimed recordings. This award-winning young piano trio has thrilled audiences in the United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, Israel, Australia, South America and New Zealand. First-prize winners at the 1999 Osaka International Chamber Music Competition, they were also prize winners at the 1995 Melbourne International Competition and have won, as individuals, America-Israel Cultural Foundation Scholarship awards. "... The Jerusalem Trio makes you feel the intimacy and urgency of its approach to chamber music. They sound like lifelong partners. The group's signature piece is Shostakovich's op.67, brilliant, harrowing, charged with grief and anger and a savage humor... all these come through in the trio's electric performance."
