The Greenwich Trio has been described by legendary cellist Bernard Greenhouse as the New “Beaux Arts Trio”.

"I had the privilege of seeing superstars in the making.... never have I heard piano and stringed instruments meld together so seamlessly, and the effect on the music was a great increase in its power and ability to generate emotion. "... Bachtrack

The Greenwich Trio, described by legendary cellist Bernard Greenhouse as the "New Beaux Arts Trio", is formed by pianist Yoko Misumi, Beethoven Society of Europe Top Prize-winner; Lana Trotovšek, a talent unveiled by Ruggiero Ricci’s at Salzburg’s Mozarteum; and cellist Stjepan Hauser, winner of 19 first prizes all over the world.
