About the
Delphi Piano Trio

​“Throughout the playing was tightly rhythmic, cunningly balanced and powerfully expressive. The finale was eye-opening, fast and communicative. … In all, a remarkable performance, as memorable as any I have heard in my 27 years as a music reviewer." -David Williams, Charleston Gazette-Mail​

About the Artists


Praised for “…spot-on ensemble playing and a beautifully blended sound…” (San Francisco Classical Voice) and “…rich, committed string tone, dazzling pianism, rhythmic flexibility, and risky tempi…” (Sarasota Herald Tribune) the Delphi Trio has become a powerfully eloquent voice in the world of chamber music.

Prizewinners of the 2015 Orlando Concours in the Netherlands, the Delphi Trio has performed in Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, and across the United States. Recent highlights include the world premiere of William Bolcom’s Piano Trio; a concerto residency with the San Jose Chamber Orchestra and Barbara Day Turner; the west coast premiere of Paul Juon’s Episodes Concertantes (1912) with Michael Morgan and the Oakland Symphony; and performances throughout the United States, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival, and WFMT Studios Chicago.

The Delphi Trio is grounded in the immensely rich classic repertoire for piano trio and is committed to the exploration of its deep, lasting meaning for performers and audience alike. The Trio sees contemporary music as a natural extension of the standard repertoire and is therefore dedicated to the music of our time. Delphi has given acclaimed world premieres of William Bolcom's ​Piano Trio (2014), ​ Max Stoffregen’s ​Coyote Plan ​ (2013), and Sahba Aminikia’s Deltangi-ha ​ (2012) and ​Shab o Meh ​ (2014). The Trio will be premiering a new triple concerto by Clarice Assad in the 2020-21 season.

The Delphi Trio believes in the power of music to create community and social change. They curate the Practice Project, a social media group dedicated to fostering community, openness, and vulnerability among both professional and amateur artists. As part of the Delphi Prison Project, they bring music to incarcerated individuals with the goal of encouraging emotional self-knowledge and self-expression through art. 

​Violinist Liana Berube, cellist Tanya Tomkins, and pianist Allegra Chapman are based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

OUTREACH


The Delphi Trio is proud to present the Delphi Emerging Artists Program, a chamber music program for collegiate level students.

The program guides serious chamber musicians through the concertizing process. The trio mentors the young artist by offering advice on career management, resume and social media presence, and collaborative endeavors. The 3 month process culminates in a concert at a suitable venue in the Bay Area in which the Delphi Trio collaborates with the artist.

The Delphi Prison Project

The Delphi Trio, partnered with organizations in the local Bay Area community, presents live concerts to incarcerated individuals in prisons and jails. The mission of this project is to create accessibility and educational opportunities for citizens with limited rights and no regular access to concert experiences. The Delphi Trio members and other musicians/ensembles in the community work together to perform and present high-quality musical experiences to inmates within their own facilities. Scheduled visits include curated programs, discussions and interactions with the residents, and Q&As. The musicians sit amongst the inmates while playing, sometimes separated by glass (by law), but strive to deliver the most direct and tangible musical experience to those who listen.
​
If the facility does not have a piano, the Delphi Trio works with local rental companies to rent and deliver pianos to ensure the residents the full concert sound. All involved musicians donate their time and skills to perform for residents in these facilities, and officials in the jails help facilitate this collaboration, and welcome soul-nourishing performances for the residents.

The Prison Project is also designed to push against the existence of concert privilege, and bring the experience of live classical chamber music to everyone, and not just those with the means to pay for it. The string quartet, piano trio, and other chamber ensembles were built around the concept of friends that played music casually for one another in smaller, intimate settings. With the Prison Project, we hope to achieve that ambience for incarcerated individuals.

The trio hopes this will also galvanize those who see the project in active society to raise awareness of the United States Prison System, and move legislators towards a comprehensive plan that directs the system more towards equality, rehabilitation, and recovery.
