The Z.E.N. Trio met on the BBC New Generation Artists’ scheme in 2015 and have since performed concerts together for BBC radio as well as across the UK and elsewhere in Europe. The trio performs Brahms' Piano Trio No. 1 and Dvorák's Piano Trio in E minor, Op.90. BELOW: About the Z.E.N. Trio:

Spontaneous Symbols
Brooklyn Rider

The recording includes music written for the group by composers Tyondai Braxton, Evan Ziporyn, Brooklyn Rider violinist Colin Jacobsen, 2014 Rome Prize recipient Paula Matthusen, and polymathic guitarist/ composer/producer Kyle Sanna. The project is "somewhat rooted in the artistic firmament of New York City, but the scope of these wide ranging works extends far beyond," said quartet violist Nicholas Cords. The new recording "shows us once again at the core of our artistic mission as a string quartet; bringing new works to life." BELOW: Brooklyn Rider plays Spontaneous Symbols - in 45 seconds:
