The Neave Trio
Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026

Since forming in 2010, Grammy-nominated Neave Trio—violinist Anna Williams, Cellist Mikhail Veselov, and pianist Eri Nakamura—has earned enormous praise for its engaging, cutting-edge performances. New York's classical music radio station WQXR explains, "'Neave' is actually a Gaelic name meaning 'bright' and 'radiant', both of which certainly apply to this trio's music making." Gramophone has praised the trio's "taut and vivid interpretations," while The Strad calls out their "eloquent phrasing and deft control of textures" and BBC Music Magazine describes their performances as balancing "passion with sensitivity and grace."

Boston Trio
Sunday, March 22, 2026

​Praised by The Boston Globe as a must-hear ensemble, the Boston Trio—violinist Irina Muresanu, cellist Jonah Ellsworth, and pianist Heng-Jin Park—has earned acclaim for its exceptional ensemble playing and dynamic interpretations of both classical and contemporary repertoire. Each member enjoys an accomplished solo and chamber music career, having performed with major orchestras and at premier festivals worldwide. The Trio has appeared at renowned venues including Carnegie Hall, Tanglewood’s Ozawa Hall, and the Newport Classical Music Festival, where they premiered a commissioned work by Stacy Garrop. Their commitment to new music is reflected in numerous premieres of works written for them, and their latest recording, Elegy and Blue, was released on the Centaur label. Dedicated educators, they serve on the faculties of leading institutions such as the New England Conservatory and MIT, and regularly engage in outreach and residencies at schools and festivals across the U.S. and abroad.
