Trio 180, the faculty piano trio-in-residence at the University of the Pacific’s Conservatory of Music, is dedicated to its roles as performer, proponent of new music, and educator. In addition to giving concerts and masterclasses throughout the United States, the Trio has been featured on concert series in Mexico and Canada. This talented ensemble includes violinist Ann Miller, cellist Vicky Wang, and pianist Sonia Leong.
Trio 180 performs a wide range of music from the Classic era to the present and is an active advocate of new music. The Trio was awarded a Barlow Grant in 2006 to commission eminent composer Chen Yi’s first piano trio, Tibetan Tunes (Theodore Presser). The Trio also premiered Robert Coburn’s a depth of silence (2018); Robert Greenberg’s 180 Shift (2013); Reinaldo Moya’s Gothic Sea (2011, in honor of Trio 180’s tenth anniversary); François Rose’s Gently, Wild Rose Petals (2008); Derek Jacoby’s Trio No. 2 (2008); and Allan Crossman’s Icarus (2005). The Trio has also recorded works by Jorge Liderman (Suite del sur; Sidewalk, recorded on Albany Records); and Cindy Cox (Wave).
The Trio mentors young musicians and chamber music groups at University of the Pacific’s Conservatory of Music, where all three members are on faculty. In addition, Trio 180 frequently performs at elementary and high schools throughout California, presenting varied and interactive programs designed to challenge and engage young students.
