The Golub Kaplan Carr Trio is a classical music ensemble that has been captivating audiences with their unique blend of virtuosity and musicality since their founding in 1992. The trio consists of violinist Mark Kaplan, cellist Colin Carr, and pianist David Golub, all of whom are renowned soloists in their own right. The trio was founded when Golub, who had previously collaborated with both Kaplan and Carr individually, suggested that they form a trio together. The three musicians quickly discovered a shared musical vision and a deep chemistry that has been the hallmark of their performances ever since. One of the highlights of the Golub Kaplan Carr Trio's career was their performance at the 1996 Mostly Mozart Festival in New York City. The trio performed Beethoven's Triple Concerto with the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra, conducted by Gerard Schwarz. The performance was widely praised for its energy, precision, and musicality, and cemented the trio's reputation as one of the most exciting and dynamic ensembles in classical music. Another notable performance by the trio was their 2001 concert at the Wigmore Hall in London. The program featured works by Beethoven, Brahms, and Shostakovich, and was praised by critics for its "intense emotional depth" and "seamless ensemble playing." The concert was also recorded and released as a live album, which received widespread critical acclaim. Over the years, the Golub Kaplan Carr Trio has received numerous awards and accolades for their performances and recordings. In 1999, they won the Chamber Music America/WQXR Record Award for their recording of Beethoven's Triple Concerto with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. They have also been nominated for several Grammy Awards, including Best Chamber Music Performance for their recording of Brahms' Piano Trios. In addition to their performances and recordings, the Golub Kaplan Carr Trio is also committed to music education and outreach. They have conducted masterclasses and workshops at universities and music schools around the world, and have worked with young musicians through programs such as the New York Youth Symphony and the National Youth Orchestra of the United States. Despite their individual successes as soloists, the members of the Golub Kaplan Carr Trio have found a unique and fulfilling musical partnership in their ensemble work. Their performances are marked by a deep musical understanding and a shared commitment to excellence, and they continue to inspire audiences around the world with their virtuosity and passion for classical music.
