Interview with Trio Zimbalist in I Care If You Listen

Vibrant new ensemble Trio Zimbalist was recently interviewed for I Care If You Listen. Composed of distinguished Curtis alumni Josef Špaček (Violin ’09), Timotheos Gavriilidis-Petrin (Cello ’17), and George Xiaoyuan Fu (Piano ’16), the trio recently released their debut recording Trio Zimbalist: Piano Trios of Weinberg, Auerbach, & Dvořák from Curtis Studio. Distributed by Platoon, the album is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Apple Music Classical.

The trio discusses their album of stirring works by Mieczysław Weinberg, Lera Auerbach, and Antonín Dvořák, and what drew them to program these three selections. They talk about the inspiration to base the project on the “Dumka” and share their favorite piece on the recording and information about their upcoming tour.
