TrioFenix’s performance was highly praised by critics and audience members alike, and they were invited back to perform at the series again in 2017. In addition to their performances, TrioFenix has also been recognized for their recordings. Their debut album, “TrioFenix: Beethoven, Brahms, and Dvořák,” was released in 2016 and received critical acclaim. The album features the trio’s unique interpretations of three of the most beloved piano trios in the repertoire. TrioFenix has also been recognized for their commitment to education and outreach.
