The live experience
What reaches the room
The Eroica Trio brings a dynamic blend of individual artistry and ensemble cohesion to the concert stage. Formed at Juilliard and named for Beethoven's heroic Eroica Symphony, this piano–violin–cello trio has become a staple of modern chamber music, celebrated for its expressive depth and technical finesse. The ensemble—Erika Nickrenz (piano), Sara Parkins (violin), and Sara Sant'Ambrogio (cello)—has earned critical recognition, including the Naumburg Chamber Music Competition First Prize in 1991 and multiple Grammy nominations. Their debut album was hailed as NPR Performance Today Debut Recording of the Year in 1997.
