PROJECT Trio
PROJECT Trio is a passionate, high-energy chamber music ensemble comprised of three virtuosic composers/performers from Brooklyn, New York. PROJECT Trio has impacted audiences of all ages by blending their classical training with an eclectic taste in musical styles. Bursting onto the scene with their landmark videos right out of the internet generation, PROJECT Trio is a musical experience defining a new level of entertainment!
Combining world-class artists’ virtuosity with rock stars’ energy, PROJECT Trio is breaking down traditional ideas of chamber music. The genre-defying Trio is acclaimed by the press as “packed with musicianship, joy, and surprise” and “exciting a new generation of listeners about the joys of classical and jazz music.” Gramophone Magazine called the group “an ensemble willing and able to touch on the gamut of musical bases ranging from Baroque to nu-metal and taking in pretty much every stylism in between.” At the same time, The Wall Street Journal hailed the Trio for their “wide appeal, subversive humor, and first-rate playing.”
Collaboration is a huge part of their identity, and they have worked with many of the best in the industry. Notable performances include concerts with opera star Measha Brueggersgosman and pianist Jeffrey Kahane, a concerto commission with composer Adam Schoenberg, and they have shared the stage with several acclaimed conductors, including Gemma New, Jacomo Bairos, and Karina Canellakis. PROJECT Trio is working on a new commission with film composer Kathryn Bostic. Bostic is an incredible musician and the first female African American score composer in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.
PROJECT Trio is one of the pioneers of the classical crossover wave of the last decade. The Trio has amassed over 100,000,000 views on YouTube with 112,000 subscribers. They have performed on four continents, in 25 countries, and 43 states. From the Kennedy Center to the Sydney Conservatory of Music to the Belarusian Philharmonic Hall and back to their hometown, Carnegie Hall, the Trio brings unmatched energy to every performance.
The Trio is dedicated to arts education, teaching the art and joy of jamming on classical instruments and opening minds to what instruments can do. Engaging younger audiences, PROJECT Trio has performed and led workshops for over 600,000 students.
