St Mark's' in the Valley

Trio Céleste to make their Santa Ynez Valley Concert Series Debut on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at 7pm

 

Los Olivos, Santa Barbara County, California—The Santa Ynez Valley Concert Series proudly announces the fourth concert of their 2024-25 season, featuring the international ensemble, Trio Celeste, at St. Mark’s in the Valley Church at 2901 Nojoqui Avenue in Los Olivos. This concert will take place on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at 7pm.

 

Artistic Director, Dr. Robert Cassidy, says: “We are so fortunate to have Trio Céleste: comprised of Iryna Krechkovsky, violin; Ross Gasworth, cello; and Kevin Kwan Loucks, piano, take time out of their busy schedules to perform for us! Their fascinating program consists of Vasily Barvinsky’s Piano Trio No. in A Minor, Frank Martin’s Trio sur des mélodies populaires irlandaises, and Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 2 in E Minor, Op. 67.”

 Biography

 Hailed as “a first-class ensemble” (Orange County Register), “unfailingly stylish” (The Strad), “technically dazzling” (Long Beach Gazette), “flawless” (New York Concert Review) and “the epitome of what chamber musicians should be” (Palm Beach Daily News), Trio Céleste has firmly established itself as one of the most dynamic chamber music ensembles on the classical music scene today. Recent highlights include recital debuts at the Chicago Cultural Center, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, New York’s Carnegie Hall, Seoul Art Center in South Korea, and the world premiere of Paul Dooley’s Concerto Grosso for Piano Trio and Strings co-commissioned by Trio Céleste and Chamber Music | OC. Winners of the prestigious Beverly Hills Auditions and the recipients of the 2017 Emerging Artist Award from Arts Orange County, the ensemble has performed hundreds of recitals worldwide also appearing in master classes, entrepreneurship seminars, and performance residencies at some of the nation’s top academic institutions and centers for arts and culture. In 2014, the ensemble was selected from over five hundred applicants to be Artists-in-Residence at The Grand Canyon National Park. Trio Céleste was Ensemble-in-Residence at the Claire Trevor School of the Arts at UC Irvine from 2013-2019 and are current Directors of the acclaimed arts organization Chamber Music | OC where they have been featured in collaborations with violist Paul Coletti, Emerson String Quartet violinist Philip Setzer, and principal players of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. During the 2015/2016 season, the Trio commissioned new music from composers Samuel Adler, Mike Block, Christopher Dobrian, Paul Dooley, Eugene Drucker, Peter Erskine, Eric Guinivan, Fred Hersch, Pierre Jalbert, Nicole Mitchell, Jim Scully, and Cristina Spinei, and released their Debut Album on the Navona label which debuted at #5 on iTunes for “Best Seller New Release” and #20 on Amazon’s “Chamber Music Albums”. The ensemble was inspired to take its name after their very first meeting in New York City, where a rare celestial occurrence – the largest harvest moon in two decades – marked the beginning of their tenure together.
