About the Ensemble
Trio Rai is a Boston-based piano trio that formed in 2019 at the New England Conservatory.
Named after the Japanese kanji for “trust and reliance,” Trio Rai seeks to build meaningful
relationships with audience members and the music they perform, while enjoying the process
of exploring the great works of the piano trio repertoire.
Trio Rai has studied extensively under the guidance of Miriam Fried, Itzhak Perlman, Kim Kashkashian, Donald Weilerstein, Areta Zhulla, Ayano Ninomiya, Lucy Chapman, Vivian Weilerstein, and Merry Peckham. In 2021, Trio Rai was awarded a Bronze Medal at the renowned Fischoff Chamber Music Competition.
