The Jemur Piano Trio was formed in January 2012, handpicked to play the Tchaikovsky Piano Trio for six Boston Conservatory Dance Concerts, with world premiere choreography by the Boston Ballet’s Daniel Pelzer. These performances were so well-received, and the three musicians so enjoyed their collaboration, that they decided to perform together and explore the vast repertoire for piano trio. They made their concert debut in an all-Russian program in 2012 at the St. Botolph Club in Boston, and they toured and performed in Italy, Lithuania, and Albania. Last year Jemur Piano Trio performed at the Ellingwood Chapel Concert Series in Nahant, at the Crowell Chapel Concert Series presented by the Historic Manchester Trust, at the Museum of Fine Arts, at The Boston Conservatory, and they are actively arranging concerts for next season and a trip to Japan. The Jemur Trio is an honor ensemble of The Boston Conservatory, and they are coached by cellist Rhonda Rider and pianist Michael Lewin. Next year Ms. Jarkova will be attending Boston University (MM), Ms. Urayama will be earning her Artist Diploma at The Boston Conservatory, and Mr. Mulla will be a teaching assistant at the University of South Florida.
