Trio Sima
L to R: Sami Merdinian, Ani Kalayjian, Sofya Melikyan
Praised for their “powerful” and “heartfelt” interpretations of classical and ethnic repertoire, Trio Sima is quickly becoming one of the leading, young trios of its generation. Connected by their Armenian heritage, members of this New York based ensemble have studied with such teachers as Dorothy Delay, Peter Oundjian, Joaquin Soriano, Solomon Mikowksy, Brigitte Engerer, Timothy Eddy, and Ralph Kirshbaum. Winners of international competitions, members of the trio are highly sought after soloists and chamber musicians, performing at such major venues as Carnegie Hall, Teatro Colon, Palau de la Musica Valenciana, Concertgebouw, Seoul Arts Center, Shanghai Theatre and Yerevan Philharmonic Hall, among others. Upcoming engagements include a South American tour in Chile and Argentina, as well as recitals at Dweck center and Ridotto concert series in New York, the Rutgers Zimmerli Arts Museum in New Brunswick, Chamber Music Society of Little Rock, and St. James church in White Plains.
