Composed of world-renowned violinist Pinchas Zukerman, cellist Amanda Forsyth and pianist Angela Cheng, the Zukerman Trio tours the world each year, captivating audiences and critics with their chamber concerts and orchestral performances. The group began playing together in 2011, and after receiving invitations to perform at leading venues and festivals, the three musicians officially formed the Zukerman Trio in 2013. Each member contributes remarkable talent and unique abilities to the group’s performances.

Boasting an illustrious career that has spanned several decades, Mr. Zukerman is recognized as a musical genius and inspiration to the next generation of artists through the educational initiatives with which he is involved. He currently serves as the Principal Guest Conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London and has won several prestigious awards over the years, including the Medal of Arts and the Isaac Stern Award for Artistic Excellence.

A winner of the Canadian Juno Award, Ms. Forsyth has earned a reputation as one of the most dynamic cellists in North America. She is recognized as an exquisitely talented chamber musician, soloist, recitalist and recording artist, with music known for its profound tonal richness.

As a Canadian pianist who regularly performs as a recitalist and orchestral soloist at venues across North America, Ms. Cheng consistently garners praise for her outstanding technique. She has won many coveted awards, was a Gold Medalist of the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Masters Competition, and became the first Canadian to win the Montreal International Piano Competition.
