Merz Trio Wins 2021 Naumburg Competition

We are excited to announce that our friends the Merz Trio have won first place in the 2021 Naumburg Chamber Music Competition. Pianist Lee Dionne, violinist Brigid Coleridge, and cellist Julia Yang will share a $15,000 prize award, and will also perform in a fully subsidized New York recital featuring the world premiere of a newly-commissioned work. The Merz Trio previously won the 2019 Concert Artists Guild Competition, 2019 Fischoff Competition, and 1st Prize and the Audience Choice Award at the 2018 Chesapeake Competition. Don’t miss the videos that the Merz made of Schumann and Berg in Guarneri Hall in 2019.
