Music Appreciation Series: The Avanti Piano Trio

Formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 2018, they’ve since performed across the state in concert series, festivals, live on Wisconsin Public Radio, and on PBS broadcasts. Driven by a passion to enrich the piano-trio repertoire, The Avanti Piano Trio performs beloved standards and champions a range of styles. They provide a platform for under-explored gems and works by female composers, delivering performances both innovative and rooted in tradition
