A founding member of the Connecticut Trio, for many decades Ribchinsky performed with violinist Gerard Rosa and pianist Linda Laurent in yearly concerts at the New Britain Museum of American Art. Ribchinsky performs often throughout the area as a soloist and recitalist.

Violinist Artemis Simerson was the Assistant Concertmaster of the New Haven Symphony for 30 years until 2022, and she continues to teach violin at Choate Rosemary Hall. She participates in numerous musical performances in the Wall Street Chamber Players and in recordings, and she is delighted to have time to share her great love of the piano trio repertoire.

Pianist William Braun plays principal keyboards for the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, and is a professor at The Hartt School of the University of Hartford. He has written more than 300 articles for Opera News magazine. He has made recordings for Koch Classics and the PBS TV series American Masters.
