Merz Trio

Arianna String Quartet

Hailing from opposite corners of the globe, the Merz Trio walked onto stages around the world and are humbled to have been recognized as Winners of the Naumburg, Concert Artists Guild, Fischoff, and Chesapeake Competitions and a Salon di Virtuosi Career Grant.

The Merz Trio love to be in community with others. “We understand what we do as a conversation between ourselves, the composer, our audience, and the changing world we step into each day. Art happens where people are. We hope you'll come along for the ride. Merz refers to connection, to sharing, to possibility.”

Alongside their ‘traditional’ recitals, they create original inter-disciplinary projects, sometimes just with themselves and their extra-musical interests, more often with inspiring and generous artists, and each time they collaborate they understand the music that they play differently.
