Experience the magic of the holidays with an enchanting candlelight concert, performed by The Champlain Trio! It's been said that out of adversity comes opportunity, and out of the COVID-19 pandemic the Champlain Trio was formed. Violinist Letitia Quante, cellist Emily Taubl and pianist Hiromi Fukuda each call Vermont home and with concerts, tours and festivals being put on hold, the spring of 2020 brought the unique opportunity to come together as an ensemble.

All three musicians earned degrees from The Juilliard School among others and hold positions in the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, Springfield Symphony Orchestra, Amherst College, and the University of Vermont.

In 2022, the trio was awarded a Vermont Arts Council Grant to record the Croatian composer Dora Pejacevic’s Piano Trio, Op. 29. The trio continues to expand their active performing schedule in addition to forming chamber music programs for students across Vermont.

Celebrate the season with a heartwarming evening of holiday music, performed by The Champlain Trio. Join us for their second annual concert, at The TREX Theater. Relive cherished memories with seasonal classics such as Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker suite, selections from Handel’s Messiah, toe-tapping jazzy arrangements and much more - all with beautiful winter scene projections on the big screen! We promise that this will be a night that audiences of all ages will remember, so bring your friends and family and get your tickets today!
