The Chihara Trio, formed in 2009, consists of Penn State School of Music faculty members Anthony Costa (clarinet), Tim Deighton (viola), and Enrico Elisi (piano). The group takes its name from the celebrated American composer Paul Chihara (b. 1938), who was commissioned to write a new work for the trio titled “Images.” (premiered at Penn State in December 2009). The Chihara Trio will perform its New York debut recital March 25, 2010 in Weill Hall.

The ensemble’s instrumentation represents three major areas of performance in the school of music (winds, strings, and piano). Other important contributions to this instrumental combination include compositions by Max Bruch, Jean Francaix, Libby Larsen, Alfred Uhl and Gordon Jacob.
