Of the Emerald Trio, Individually the members of the Emerald Trio wear many different hats in their musical careers: actor, director, composer, recording and concert artists while performing diverse and varied styles from Bach to cabaret and Broadway to hip hop and jazz. Their love of classical and contemporary chamber music was the common interest and from there the trio was born.

The Emerald Trio strives to present programs drawing from their diverse backgrounds, incorporating cabaret, theater pieces, jazz inspired, and unknown and seldom performed works.
