Arensky Piano Trio

The Arensky Trio is a polished and passionate group of musicians who delight and inspire all. The Arensky Piano Trio was formed in 2005 as a tribute to the lesser, but still masterful, pianist and composer Anton Stepanovich Arenskiy. The trio aims to bring the music of the composer for which it is named to a higher level of knowledge, one concert at a time. The Arensky Piano Trio will take the great, well-known masters and their works and deliver satisfying heartfelt musical performances.
