This inspiring piano trio, whose playing is described as positively spellbinding, was the first recipient of the Kalichstein-Laredo-robinson International Award. Twin sisters Emily and Julia Bruskin formed the trio with Donna Kwong in 1999 at The Juilliard School. Believing that education on all levels is essential to the future of classical music, the Claremont Trio is extensively involved in teaching the next generation of musicians and music lovers. Sought after for their effectiveness in the classroom as well as on the concert stage, the Trio regularly conducts educational outreach activities and master classes, most recently at the Peabody Conservatory’s Preparatory Division, where they conducted a mini-residency, and at the University of Washington, where they led a series of master classes. Other recent master classes have been at Eastman School of Music, Duke University, Boston Conservatory, Purchase College at SUNY, Middlebury College, the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh, Longy School of Music, Kansas State University, and Gettysburg College's Sunderman Conservatory.
