Comments from Katie:

Jason Barabba is a Los Angeles-based composer whose string trio
we've both performed and recorded on our debut album. The trio is
slightly less than 15 minutes and is an interesting work, both gritty
and technically flashy. There is more information on Jason at:

 

 

The Taneyev is Russian and very fun. We haven't quite decided whether to start with the Taneyev or Schubert, but I'll let you know very soon.

Founded at the Colburn School of Music in Los Angeles, the Janaki Trio is proving to be one of today's fastest rising young ensembles with a repertoire displaying a vast range, from Beethoven to Penderecki.

In 2006, the Janaki won the Concert Artists Guild International Competition, becoming the first string trio to receive the honor since 1978].

Members of the Janaki have studied with Kim Kashkashian, Isodore Cohen, Sylvia Rosenberg, and the Guarneri Quartet, the Juilliard String Quartet, the Cleveland Quartet, the Orion String Quartet, and the Takacs Quartet. Currently, the Janaki studies individually and collectively with Robert Lipsett, Paul Coletti, and Ronald Leonard.
