Giving performances that are “lithe, persuasive” (The New York Times), “eloquent and enthralling” (The Boston Globe), and described as “the most compelling American group to come on the scene” (The New Yorker), the HORSZOWSKI TRIO has quickly become a vital force in the international chamber music world since their formation in 2011. In 2023, the “Horszowski Trio Prize” was created by the prestigious Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, to award piano trio winners.

In 2019, the Horszowski Trio made its London debut in a sold-out concert presented by Wigmore Hall. Their success has led into a 21-concert-tour in Germany in 2022, and they were acclaimed by major critics: “This ensemble can play anything.”; “With all the intensity of the expression that the three musicians achieve, they play in a finely tuned manner, span gripping musical arcs, work out surprising details, amaze with their interpretive imagination and stylistically confident sensitivity.”; “While listening to their Dvorak Dumky Trio, you couldn’t believe that it was not a Czech but an American ensemble playing.”

During the COVID pandemic, the trio managed to keep performing, including a special project in several performances of Morton Feldman’s epic, two-hour- long Piano Trio — an artistically rewarding and timely work which offers a poignant reflection of the isolation of the times and also a hopeful and spiritual oasis.

The Horszowski Trio has appeared at major venues in the U.S., including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, as well as Mexico, Canada, Japan, and throughout Europe and Asia. Their recording of the complete piano trios of Robert Schumann on AVIE Records received tremendous acclaim: “great care and affection” (BBC Radio); “intoxicating” (Gramophone); “exciting and deeply felt” (Strings); “fresh, supple and fantastic” (The Strad).
