The Claremont Trio is fast-moving into the international scene! Twin sisters, Emily Bruskin (violin) and Julia Bruskin (cello) formed the Trio with Donna Kwong (piano) in 1999 at The Juilliard School. They have since won several competitions, including the first Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson International Trio Award; played in prestigious venues, including the American Academy in Rome and the Lincoln Center; as well as in Serbia, Bosnia, and Slovenia as part of a cultural exchange co-sponsored by the U.S. State Department and Carnegie Hall.

Committed to expanding piano trio repertoire, they present classical favorites alongside new, exciting compositions created by both established and up-and-coming composers. “Deft, exhilarating, and imaginative,” (Strings Magazine) Claremont Trio is zest for the senses.
