Eroica Trio to perform in Stevens Point

The Eroica Trio is on the vanguard of a new generation of artists who are changing the face of classical music. Pianist Erika Nickrenze, violinist Susie Park and cellist Sara SantAmbrogio are all award-winning musicians who have performed all over the world from a young age.

A typical concert spans 300 years of music and might include the Baroque symmetries of Vivaldi, the passion of Brahms, and Paul Schoenfields contemporary Caf Music with its echoes of jazz, spiritual and theatre music. The trio also premieres a new composer, and this season, it is giving the world premiere of a work by acclaimed American composer Kevin Puts.

During the 2007-08 season, the trio is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a cross-country tour and the release of its eighth CD for EMI, featuring all-American music including a new arrangement from Gershwins "Porgy and Bess."

"The Trio plays with technical flair, raw, driven energy and high spirits. The ensemble also has plenty of charm and stage presence. It was obvious that all three musicians were having as much fun as the audience," reported The Wall Street Journal after a Carnegie Hall performance.

The Eroica Trio won the prestigious Naumburg Award in 1991 and has been nominated for multiple Grammy awards. It has performed on numerous television programs and has been featured in numerous national magazines.
