We're coming to you from Boston, Massachusetts, for a special recital presented by the New England Conservatory (NEC) featuring Trio Eris. This performance marks part of The Violin Channel’s new streaming partnership with NEC.

The trio, which consists of violinist K.J. MacDonald, cellist Annie SeEun Hyung, and pianist Andrew Jun Chen, is the Resident Ensemble at the New England Conservatory Professional Piano Trio Program.

In the months ahead, audiences can look forward to full concerts from the school’s Concert Artists Series, featuring musicians from the Institute for Concert Artists and the Professional Piano Trio Program, directed by pianist and NEC faculty member Vivian Hornik Weilerstein.
