“…collaborative music-making at its best.”
—Cleveland Classical
Historic recordings of some of the great singers of yesteryear include numerous performances of salon-type songs with an obbligato instrument. This tradition continues with SPA Trio. These stellar artists first performed together in 2011 in Curaçao, in the Netherlands Antilles, and have enjoyed exploring and performing a blend of art and parlour songs from the 19th- and 20th-century European tradition. Soprano Susanna Phillips continues to establish herself as one of today’s most sought-after vocalists and recitalists. Violist Paul Neubauer’s exceptional musicality and effortless playing led The New York Times to call him “a master musician.” Pianist Anne-Marie McDermott is a consummate artist who balances a versatile career as a soloist and collaborator.
