The Naumburg Trio takes its name from the famous Naumburg Competion, which is among the most prestigious of all international Classical music competitions. The members of the trio are all Naumburg winners. Pianist Gilles Vonsattel, who took the honors in 2002, has become a familiar figure in Athens with his recital performances and concerts with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. David Require, cello, won in 2008. Violinist Frank Huang, who won in 2003, is now the concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic. The powerful all-Russian program includes the Shostakovich’s Piano Trios Nos. 1 and 2 and the Tchaikovsky Piano Trio.
