Their recordings have earned widespread critical praise and three JUNO Awards, establishing the ensemble as one of Canada’s most distinguished chamber groups.

Critics have praised the Trio’s commanding performances, with the Los Angeles Times describing them as “a piano trio that plays with strength and unanimity… big, bold, almost orchestral performances.”

Edwards Chair in Piano Performance at the University of Toronto.
