Three acclaimed young performers join forces in a powerhouse trio. Pianist Evren Ozel, 2025 Van Cliburn Bronze Medalist and Mozart Concerto Award recipient, combines fluent virtuosity with probing, thoughtful interpretations. Violinist Nathan Amaral, praised by Yo-Yo Ma for ”getting to the heart and soul of musical expression” and “drawing his audiences in with a great range of color and emotion,” has won many international competitions and performed as soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Cellist Leland Ko “plays with the beauty of sound and subtlety that we don’t often encounter in a cellist of his age,” says violinist Itzhak Perlman. In addition to being awarded co-First Prize in the 2024 Walter W. Naumburg International Competition, in 2023 Leland captured First Prize at the Montreal Symphony Orchestra (OSM) Competition.
