New Pacific Trio

The New Pacific Trio, in residence at the Conservatory of Music, is quickly gaining recognition throughout the United States. This talented ensemble is made up of celebrated concert violinist Ann Miller, Grammy-nominated cellist Nina Flyer, and award-winning pianist Sonia Leong.

The trio has given concerts and master classes throughout the West Coast, with a featured appearance in Guadalajara, Mexico in March 2009. An active advocate of new music, the trio was awarded a Barlow Grant in 2006 to commission eminent composer Chen Yi’s first piano trio, Tibetan Tunes, published by Theodore Presser. In addition, the trio has premiered works by Allan Crossman (Icarus), Jorge Liderman (Suite del Sur; Sidewalk recorded on Albany Records), Derek Jacoby (Trio No. 2), and Francois Rose (Gently, Wild Rose Petals) and has performed frequently on the Composers, Inc. series in San Francisco

Critics have hailed the New Pacific Trio for its "passion and dexterity" and its "infectious musical vivacity", saying "the audience....roared its approval".
