Biography
The Grammy-nominated Eroica Trio thrills audiences world-wide with flawless technical virtuosity, irresistible enthusiasm and sensual elegance. Whether playing the great standards of the piano trio repertoire or daring contemporary works, the three women who make up this celebrated ensemble electrify the concert stage with their performances of depth and precision. The Trio won the prestigious Naumburg Award in 1991, resulting in a highly successful Lincoln Center debut, and has since toured the United States, Europe, and Asia. While maintaining a demanding concert schedule, the Eroica Trio has released seven critically lauded recordings for Angel/EMI Classics Records, garnering multiple Grammy nominations. In fall 2008, the Trio released “An American Journey,” its eighth CD for EMI, featuring the music of Gershwin, O’Connor, and Bernstein.
Pianist Erika Nickrenz, violinist Susie Park, and cellist Sara Sant’Ambrogio are all top-ranked, award-winning musicians who have performed, both together and solo, on many of the world’s great stages. The New York Times noted: “Eroica’s musicians have the muscle to be purely dramatic and emotional, but here they stand out for subtler reasons: all three players are soloists who have a lot to say, and every note, no matter how light, has some significance.”
