Description

The GRAMMY®–nominated Neave Trio has earned praise for its engaging, cutting-edge performances. New York City’s WQXR explains, "'Neave' is actually a Gaelic name meaning 'bright' and 'radiant', both of which certainly apply to this trio's music-making."

Formed in 2010, the Neave trio includes violinist Anna Williams, cellist Mikhail Veselov, and pianist Eri Nakamura. Their 2022 album Musical Remembrances was nominated for a GRAMMY in the Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble category. Musical Remembrances features Rachmaninoff, Brahms, and Ravel. It is the Neave Trio’s fourth album with Chandos Records. Neave has performed at many esteemed festivals worldwide, including Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival, Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, Smithsonian American Art Museum, 92nd Street Y, Rockport Chamber Music Festival, Norfolk and Norwich Chamber Music Series (United Kingdom), and the Samoylov and Rimsky Korsakow Museums' Chamber Music Series in St. Petersburg (Russia).

During the 2023-24 season, the Neave Trio will be the inaugural Ensemble-in-Residence at Virginia Commonwealth University. The concert is a presentation of Portsmouth Athenaeum Chamber Music 2024
