Giving performances that are lithe, persuasive (The New York Times), eloquent and enthralling (The Boston Globe), and described as the most compelling American group to come on the scene (The New Yorker), the Horszowski Trio has quickly become a vital force in the international chamber music world. Since their debut performance in New York City in 2011, they have toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, the Far East, and India, traversing the extensive oeuvre of traditional piano trio repertoire and introducing audiences to new music that they have commissioned and premiered. The Horszowski Trios debut recording an album of works by Gabriel Fauré, Camille Saint-Saëns, and Vincent dIndy on the Bridge label was released in 2014 and dedicated to the memory of Mieczysaw Horszowski. Gramophone praised the exemplary performance of the highly accomplished group, concluding, I long to hear more of the Horszowski Trio.
