Variation String Trio

The Variation String Trio was founded in 2005 and gave its first performance in Darrows Barn as part of the Salt Bay Chamberfest program. Since then, they have performed on chamber music series across the United States. In February, they made their European debut in Geneva, Switzerland. The members of the trio, all busy with solo careers, find time to come together each season. Their name, Variation, comes from a unique arrangement of Bach’s Goldberg Variations and describes both a commitment to the rarely heard string trio repertoire and a goal of collaborating with a range of guest artists to vary and enhance their musical offerings. As part of Salt Bay Chamberfest’s 2007 season this August, they will be performing another of the great Op. 9 string trios of Beethoven (Op. 9, No. 2).
