Trio Barclay is an ensemble of big musical personalities who have joined together to create dynamic and exciting musical experiences. The ensemble made its stellar debut at the Irvine Barclay Theatre in Orange County, CA in June 2021 and is the first Ensemble-in-Residence in the Barclay’s 30-year history.
The trio is made up of pianist Sean Kennard, violinist Dennis Kim, and cellist Jonah Kim, and its founding is the culmination of years of collaboration between its members. Dennis and Jonah have appeared frequently at Festival Mozaic and at the Interlochen Arts Academy, and Jonah and Sean have played as recital partners for years, recently releasing a duo album on the Delos label.
Trio Barclay has commissioned a new composition for every season performance on their home stage, including works by John Wineglass, Sheridan Seyfried, Sebastian Chang, Ya-Jhu Yang and Fernando Arroyo García-Lascurain. Their appearances at the Busan International Chamber Music Festival and Festival Mozaic in San Luis Obispo in recent seasons saw them become instant favorites. The trio can be heard on the soundtrack to Defining Courage: The Documentary, streaming as the 25th episode of Our America on Disney+ and Hulu.
