Event
Albers Trio
The three Albers sisters are young and vibrant, united in music. The eldest, Laura, plays the violin. Rebecca is the violist and the youngest, Julie, is the cellist. Their mother Ellie LeRoux is a violinist and began teaching each child as soon as she was old enough to hold an instrument. All three eventually attended noted music schools and each one developed her own independent career. Laura Albers is the associate concertmaster of the San Francisco Opera Orchestra. She has performed and taught both the violin and viola at numerous programs and festivals. While attending Juilliard, Laura toured with the Astor String Quartet and the Wild Ginger Philharmonic, and also taught Suzuki violin at the Diller-Quaile School of Music. Laura volunteers for California Pacific Medical Center's Soothing Sounds program, bringing music to patients, visitors and employees. Rebecca Albers teaches the viola at the University of Michigan School of music at Ann Arbor. She currently teaches in the Juilliard pre-college section, and play in the Phoenix Quartet and in Mark O'Connor's Appalachia Waltz Trio and performs regularly with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Julie Albers lives in New York City. She performs solo with many major orchestras and also plays with a variety of ensembles. She has won prizes at international competitions in South Korea and Munich. The sisters began playing as an ensemble quite early in their childhood, starting in Boulder, Colorado where they were born. As a trio they have performed at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, National Theatre in Taipei, Weill Recital Hall, Wigmore Hall in London, and Zankel Hall. Their performances have also been seen and heard on Live from Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center Honors, Japan's NHK, Washington D.C.'s Voice of America and Bavarian Radio. Their upcoming season includes performances in New York City, Boston, California, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, New Mexico, and Texas. alberstrio.com
