The Merz Trio formed in New York City in December 2016. In addition to “traditional” recitals, the group seeks to create original interdisciplinary projects, bringing their music into conversation with collaborators including dancers, directors, chefs, sommeliers, puppeteers, and graphic designers. The trio has performed on stages around the world and won recognition as winner of the Naumberg, Concert Artists Guild, Fischoff, and Chesapeake Competitions.
