Trio Solisti

Celebrating their 10th Anniversary in the 2011-2012 season, Trio Solisti has been hailed "The most exciting piano trio in America" by The New Yorker Magazine. Comprised of three brilliant instrumentalists - violinist Maria Bachmann, cellist Alexis Pia Gerlach and pianist Jon Klibonoff, Trio Solisti has earned a reputation for soulful and passionate performances marked by soloistic virtuosity, electric energy, seamless ensemble playing, and thrilling abandon. Performing a broad spectrum of styles, their versatility extends to new music, most notably to the work of Paul Moravec who composed his 2004 Pulitzer Prize-winning work, Tempest Fantasy, for Trio Solisti. One of America's most notable critics, Terry Teachout of The Wall St. Journal proclaimed, "To my mind, Trio Solisti has now succeeded the Beaux Arts Trio as the outstanding chamber-music ensemble of its kind."
Chamber Music Monterrey Bay in California has commissioned a work for the Trio by one of America's most gifted young composers, Kevin Puts, and the trio premieres the new piece in fall 2012 with clarinetist Jon Manasse. The Arizona Friends of Chamber Music in Tucson have commissioned Lowell Lieberman to write a piano trio for Trio Solisti which they will premiere in 2013. www.triosolist.com
