Trio Aquarelle takes its name from Philippe Gaubert's luminous Trois Aquarelles — three musical watercolors painted in sound for flute, cello, and piano. Like watercolor itself, this rare and intimate instrumentation can shimmer with brilliance one moment and breathe with quiet tenderness the next. Formed by three musicians whose roots span different corners of the world, Trio Aquarelle brings a richly layered perspective to the chamber music stage. Elena Yarritu, of Japanese and Mexican descent, holds advanced degrees from Yale University and Stony Brook University, has studied and concertized throughout Europe, and performed at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall — her recordings on MSR Classics have been hailed as "fearsome and adventurous" and "jubilantly virtuosic." Daniel Grab brings a globe-spanning energy to the ensemble — at home as principal cellist in Southern California concert halls and each summer on faculty at the Burgos International Music Festival in Spain. When not on stage, he can be found exploring the Southern California coastline in search of uncrowded waves, occasionally with a cello student in tow. Cho-Hyun Park, a native of South Korea, holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Texas at Austin and took first prize at the Bartók-Kabalevsky-Prokofiev International Piano Competition in Italy, a distinction that led to her Carnegie Hall debut in 2015. Together, they move fluidly across a wide expressive range, from high-spirited virtuosity to moments of the most sublime lyricism — and it is precisely this diversity of background, temperament, and training that gives the ensemble its distinctive spark. Central to Trio Aquarelle's mission is a commitment to music that tells a fuller story. The ensemble actively champions works by women composers across the ages, believing that great music has always existed in more voices than history has acknowledged. They are passionate about bringing newly discovered and rarely heard works to light, programming them alongside the beloved standards audiences know and love — creating concerts that feel both like a homecoming and an adventure. Trio Aquarelle invites you into their world — one where music transcends the familiar, carries you somewhere unexpected, and stays with you long after the last note fades.
