Biography
The Reverón Piano Trio’s main goal is to introduce audiences to underrepresented music from Latin America alongside contemporary and standard repertoire. These seasoned artists are active promoters of Latin American music through their work as scholars and entrepreneurs, and they have devoted their careers to the discovery, cataloguing, performance, editing, and recording of this rich repertoire. In addition, the trio continues to commission and perform new works: recent collaborations include La Hamaca (2021) and El Ventilador (2022), written for the trio by renowned Venezuelan-American composer Ricardo Lorenz, and the world premiere of Barroqueada (2020) by Grammy-nominated composer Miguel del Águila.
The Reverón Trio is named after Venezuelan painter and sculptor Armando Reverón (1889- 1954), one of the earliest American modernists and considered one of the most important visual artists in Latin America. Even though Reverón is now regarded as a highly influential figure in Latin America, his work is not celebrated outside the borders of Venezuela. It is the trio’s wish to enhance multicultural understanding and increase the visibility of Reverón’s work and of Latin American music; for this reason, they are in the process of creating the Sphinx Catalog of Latin American Piano Trios. Ana María, Simón, and Horacio are all Venezuelan artists that have made their home in the United States.
Recent engagements include concerts at the Festival Casals in Puerto Rico, Latin American Music Initiative's first conference, Music Mountain Festival, Aruba Symphony Festival, the Beethoven Festival Park City, the Collaborative Piano Institute, Festival A la Vela de la Alhambra in Granada, the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia. Additionally, the trio has been in residence at the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, University of Wisconsin, Dickinson College, Lawrence University, Louisiana State University, the Westfield Center for Historical Keyboard Studies, the Collaborative Piano Institute, and various other universities in the U.S. and abroad.
Upcoming projects include recitals at Chamber Music Wilmington and American Music Festival in North Carolina, concerts with El Paso Pro Musica and a residency at El Paso University, concerts with the West Virginia Chamber Music Society, the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, the Sociedad Filarmónica de Lima.
In 2023 the Reverón Trio releases their first audio recording produced and distributed globally by IBS Classical, the Latin American Chamber Music Series at the Music Institute of Chicago, a concert tour in Peru, and residencies at various other universities in the U.S. and abroad.
