Hailed for their “dazzling virtuosity and beautifully integrated
ensemble”, the McDermott Trio has been recognized as one of the most
exciting trios on the musical horizon. Since their Carnegie Recital
Hall debut, they have appeared in recitals throughout North America,
Central America and Europe.
Highlights of recent seasons include debuts at Carnegie Hall, Alice
Tully Hall, the 92nd Street Y’s Kaufman Hall, at the Ravinia Festival
and their first visit to Mexico as a trio with the Mostly Mozart
Festival. The Trio’s 2006/07 season features concert and recital
performances throughout North America.
The McDermott Trio’s radio and television credits include numerous
appearances on the NBC and PBS Television Networks, CBS Sunday Morning
with Charles Karault, New York’s WQXR, WNYC and National Public Radio’s
Performance Today. In addition, they were featured musicians in the MGM
motion picture “FAME”.
The McDermott’s have appeared individually and as a trio with the New
York Philharmonic, the Montreal Symphony, the Atlanta Symphony, and with
the orchestras of St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Baltimore as well as with
the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. They have also appeared in
recitals at Avery Fisher Hall, Alice Tully Hall, at the Mostly Mozart,
Newport, Marlboro, Dubrovnik, Caramoor, Santa Fe, Bravo! Colorado,
Chamber Music Northwest and Evian Festivals, and the Bargemusic chamber
series.
Distinguished alumnae of the Manhattan School of Music, Yale University
and Stony Brook University, the McDermott Trio has been coached by
members of the Beaux Arts Trio and the Manhattan Trio. The Trio also
has the distinction of being called New York City’s “quasi official”
trio by former Mayor Koch and has appeared at Gracie Mansion on numerous
occasions.
Individually, each one of these talented young musicians has won
international acclaim for award-winning performances at the
International Tchaikovsky Competition, the Montreal Competition and the
Young Concert Artists Auditions.
In addition, Kerry is a member of the New York Philharmonic, Maureen is
a member of the group CELLO and Anne-Marie is an artist member of the
Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
