Trio Lucente
(Piano, Violin & Cello)
Trio Lucente shares gems of the piano-violin-cello trio repertoire with listeners near and far, offering delightful programming coupled with superb artistry. A special spark inhabits their collaborative synergy: a shared interpretive vision, and an excellent sense of humor, inspiring the best and more in this delightful trio.
Based in New York City, pianist Olga Gurevich, violinist Claudia Schaer, and cellist Jisoo Ok each bring remarkable individual accomplishments to the trio. They have played in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Weill Recital Hall, and Symphony Space in NYC, and in concert halls around the world, from Azerbaijan to Brazil to Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Switzerland, Taiwan, and counting. Each has earned prestigious degrees, from the Juilliard School, from the Maimonides State Academy, from Stony Brook University, and all three are currently training a next generation of aspiring musicians at various schools and festivals. Their experience, creativity, and studies reflect in Trio Lucente's interpretive finesse, wit, and unified citizen-of-the-world attitude.
