Merz Trio

"Entrancing" -- BBC Music Magazine

Hailed as "artists in the deepest sense of the word" (CutCommon), Merz Trio have been lauded for their "stunning virtuosity... fresh and surprising interpretations" (Reading Eagle), and "perfection of intonation and ensemble" (Hudson Review).

Merz Trio are passionately committed to retelling the story of classical music through vibrantly dynamic programming and wide-ranging interdisciplinary collaboration. Their concerts juxtapose classical standards, new music, and their own arrangements of familiar and forgotten works, fluidly interwoven and guided with speaking from the Trio's members.

The Trio are equally known for their more immersive projects, ranging from their recital-theater piece built around Shakespeare's Macbeth ("Those Secret Eyes"), to their debut album interweaving Ravel's Trio with short pieces, poems, and diaries of the era ("Ink," August, 2021).

In their prolific arranging, the Trio are committed to uplifting overlooked voices from history, ranging from Hildegard von Bingen to Lili and Nadia Boulanger, from Joséphine Baker to Irish folk melodies.

In coming seasons, Merz Trio look forward to debuts Carnegie Hall in NYC and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Based in Boston, they tour prolifically throughout the US and are represented by Concert Artists Guild. They are first prize winners of the Naumburg, Fischoff, Chesapeake, and Concert Artist Guild Competitions.
