Trio Zimbalist
Trio Zimbalist, an ensemble of young international phenoms united by their training at the Curtis Institute of Music, brings a program of deeply personal musical reflections to the Dumbarton Concerts Gallery. Their concert features classic works by Ravel, Smetana, and Schumann, each exploring the composers’ inner lives—from romantic celebration to the depths of mental illness and loss. Known for "highly charged performances" (The Strad) and "liveliness and vigor of playing" (Athinorama), the trio has quickly established itself as a leading piano trio ensemble since its 2021 debut in Athens, with recent and upcoming appearances at major venues worldwide. Their recording "Piano Trios of Weinberg, Auerbach, and Dvořák" was selected as a Gramophone Editor's Choice and praised for its wide range of sound and dynamics.
