NZ Trio

NZTrio is renowned for its eclectic repertoire, outstanding talent and warm kiwi stage presence. The trio brings together 3 accomplished artists: Amalia Hall (violin), Ashley Brown (cello) and Somi Kim (piano).

A respected ambassador of contemporary New Zealand music, NZTrio holds a track record of over 75 new commissions to date (more than 2/3 from NZ composers). They showcase those commissions across many of their recordings and in concerts around the country and overseas, matching them with other contemporary works and familiar masterpieces. The trio has featured at least one New Zealand composition in every concert throughout its history.

NZTrio has established 2 mentorship programmes that reach out to young musicians and composers: NZTrioLive! a high schools programme that gives young people a behind-the-scenes practical introduction on how to turn their passions into a profession, and the biennial NZTrio Composing Competition for tertiary composition students in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin.
