This spring, the Trio will appear in Asheville to perform Molio, Brouwer, Piazzolla — and an original piece by Sergio Assad, composed for the Trio. 

Led by Conductor and Artistic Director Piotr Gajewski, the National Philharmonic debuted "America's Requiem: A Knee on the Neck"—a colossal and captivating meditation on George Floyd and the reckoning of a nation—flanked by a chorus of 135 singers and fronted by trio of powerhouse soloists.

The Syrian-born clarinetist and composer has partenered with SAM for soloist engagements and chamber music collaborations in North America.
