The Neave Trio was formed in 2010 and currently serves as the inaugural Ensemble-in-Residence at Virginia Commonwealth University for the 2023-24 season. The trio promotes new works by living composers and frequently collaborates with artists from various disciplines. Notable collaborations include the premiere of Robert Paterson’s Triple Concerto with the Mostly Modern Orchestra under the direction of JoAnn Falletta, as well as D-Cell: an Exhibition & Durational Performance, a project conceived and directed by multi-disciplinary visual artist David Michalek.
In the 2024-25 season, the Neave Trio will collaborate with Pigeonwing Dance, composer Robert Sirota, and choreographer Gabrielle Lamb to perform Rising. This evening-length work meditates not only on rising temperatures and sea levels, but also on humanity’s increasing awareness of our connection to and dependence on the Earth’s oceans.
The GRAMMY®-nominated Trio (violinist Anna Williams, cellist Mikhail Veselov, and pianist Eri Nakamura), present a new album, Rooted, which will be released worldwide on July 5, 2024. The Neave Trio’s sixth album for Chandos Records will feature Piano Trio, Op. 15 in G minor (1855, revised 1857) by Bedřich Smetana; Five Negro Melodies from Twenty-four Negro Melodies, Op. 59 No. 1, for Solo Piano (c. 1905) by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor; Petit Trio, Op. 2 in C minor (1889, revised 1890 – 91) by Josef Suk; and Trio sur des mélodies populaires irlandaises (on Popular Irish Melodies) (1925) by Frank Martin.
