Completing the Trio is Taiwanese-Canadian pianist and composer Shawn Chang. His international career was recently lauded for his performance of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 that “emphasized the melodic, lyrical aspect of the work... It was a beautiful performance” - The Riverdale Press.

"Bixby Kennedy played with admirable suppleness and beauty of tone. He was unquestionably the star of this performance..." -Allan Kozinn – New York Times
