The Puget Sound Piano Trio is ensemble-in-residence at University of
Puget Sound School of Music. The Trioýs celebrated performances on the
Jacobsen Concert Series and in other Pacific Northwest venues reach
both their campus community and a larger regional and national audience.
Over the group's 35-year history, renowned performers of prior
decades have retired from the School of Music and new generations of
virtuoso artists have stepped into their shoes. Today, the trio is
composed of Puget Sound faculty members Maria Sampen (violin),
Alistair MacRae (cello), and Ronaldo Rolim (piano). Individually,
these three musicians come from distinguished musical backgrounds,
bringing a rich variety of professional experiences to their work as
an ensemble. They have appeared individually and as a trio with
orchestras and at major music festivals throughout the United States
and abroad. They have performed in such venues as Benaroya Hall
(Seattle), Lincoln Center (New York), Carnegie Hall (New York),
Orchestra Hall (Chicago), and at numerous colleges and universities.
The Puget Sound Piano Trio is equally at home performing
repertoire from the standard classical canon and hot-off-the-press
works of living composers. Their commitment to performing new music
extends not only to works from the classical world but to pieces based
on jazz, popular, and folk traditions.
In addition to performing on the concert stage, the Trio is
deeply committed to educational outreach. As part of this mission, the
ensemble gives free workshops, master classes, and concerts at schools
in the Pacific Northwest and throughout the United States. The Trio
believes that music and art should be a part of every child's education.
This event also appears on the main events calendar tagged as arts, concert, music, and performance.
