Formed in 2021 by members of the Pyxis Piano Quartet, the Pyxis Piano Trio continues to perform chamber music works from the sonata, duo, and trio repertoire. Founded in 2009, the Quartet had become a vibrant presence in the mid-Atlantic region, known for compelling, engaging, and informative performances. Music critic Christine Facciolo writes that "balance, superb intonation and sensitive interpretation characterized [their] performance."
Pyxis has been heard to great acclaim along the East Coast in concerts from Virginia to Pennsylvania. Beginning their second decade, Pyxis remains artists in residence for series at both the Delaware Art Museum and with Market Street Music’s Festival Concerts (Wilmington, DE). Recent performance highlights have included return engagements at the German Society of Pennsylvania, the Newark (DE) Free Library, the "Celebrate the Arts"series at Doylestown Presbyterian Church, the Kent Chamber Music Series (MD), Saint Monica’s Church (Berwyn, PA), the Smyrna Opera House (DE) and debut appearances at the Cultural Center at the Havre de Grace Opera House (MD) and the Annie M. Gaul Concert Series at St. John’s (Hain’s) Church (Wernersville, PA). Other notable performances include the Delaware Symphony’s Champagne Chamber Series at the DuPont Hotel Gold Ballroom, Concerts on the Square at Holy Trinity Church Rittenhouse (Philadelphia PA), a benefit for the Harmony for Peace Foundation, and recitals as featured artists at the Delaware Chamber Music Festival and at Villanova University.
