American Spontaneity and European Elegance
Simon

"“Superb ensemble and unflagging energy and verve....
I cannot begin to describe the delight
I found in [their] playing.”
- The Morning Call (Bethlehem, PA)
Hailed internationally as "Radiating an American spontaneity and a European elegance" by the Swiss La Liberté, the Ravel Trio captivates audiences with its conversational concert style and musical passion. At the core of the Ravel Trio’s mission is artistic collaboration with other artists - dancers, singers, actors, poets - and spreading the love of music through programs for intergenerational learning. Members of the Ravel Trio have always embraced a commitment to integrated music study, and all three are active music educators as well as performers.
“I’ve heard it said that quartets are four equals but piano trios are three soloists who happen to be playing together. The Ravel Trio proves this to be false. The sum of their parts is indeed greater, and their personalities meld together in a way that makes the music they play accessible and irresistible. I’ve heard many trios, and the Ravel has a magical quality that goes beyond notes on a page.”
- Ellen Brody Hughes, WITF FM/Harrisburg, PA
In the Ravel Trio, each player is an accomplished solo artist and chamber musician,
with performances at Carnegie’s Recital Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, the Banff
Centre for the Arts, the Kennedy Center, and the Peabody Conservatory of Music
to their credit. The Ravel Trio has presented workshops in collaboration with Amateur Chamber Music Players (ACMP) as well as weekend “getaways” for music lovers. The group actively creates partnerships with presenters, including underserved areas such as Manteo, NC and Laurel, MD.
