Strauss, Tomkins, Zivian Trio - presented by Gualala Arts Chamber Music Series
What these musicians share, in addition to their universally recognized technical brilliance, is a passion for making the music come alive. Individual stars in their own right, together they make musical fireworks wherever they perform.
In 1998, violinist Axel Strauss became the first German artist ever to win the Naumburg Violin Award, and in the seasons since, he has been equally acclaimed for his virtuosity and his musical sensitivity. The Salt Lake Tribune praised his well-rounded artistry by saying, "Strauss quickly established that he is a virtuoso to be reckoned with. But amid his technical acumen, there was a genuine musician. His interpretive prowess was delightful."
Tanya Tomkins studied at the University of Southern California with Gabor Rejto and received her bachelor of fine arts degree from the California Institute of the Arts as a student of Ron Leonard. She studied in Holland with cellist Anner Bijlsma and in 1987 earned a soloist's diploma at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. During fourteen years in Holland, she performed throughout Europe and the United States to critical acclaim.
Eric Zivian earned a diploma from Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music. At age 15 he enrolled at the Curtis Institute of Music, where he received a Bachelor of Music degree, followed by graduate degrees from Juilliard and Yale. He studied with Marina Geringas, Gary Graffman and Peter Serkin. He attended the Tanglewood Music Center as a performer in 1988 and 1989, studying chamber music with Gilbert Kalish, Peter Serkin, Joel Krosnick, and others. He has won numerous prizes for young pianists, including the Charles Miller/Sergei Rachmaninoff Award upon graduation from the Curtis Institute of Music and the Grace B. Jackson Award for Outstanding Achievement and Notable Contributions to the Program as a Whole at the Tanglewood Music Festival.
