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.

The 2017/18 highlights include recital debuts at the Chicago Cultural Center, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, New Yorks Carnegie Hall, Seoul Art Center in South Korea, and the world premiere of Paul Dooleys Concerto Grosso for Piano Trio and Strings co-commissioned by Trio Céleste and Chamber Music | OC.

In 2014, the ensemble was selected from over 500 applicants to be Artists-in-Residence at The Grand Canyon National Park.

Trio Céleste is currently Ensemble-in-Residence at the Claire Trevor School of the Arts at UC Irvine and 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.
