Trio Nebbia consists of Ji Hye Jung (percussion), Winston Choi (piano), and Geoffrey Deibel (saxophone). These three internationally acclaimed soloists combine three instruments less commonly heard together in the concert hall than in the jazz club, offering a stunning array of sound worlds from the subtly nuanced to the unbridled and radical, and providing a comprehensive sonic palate that can adapt to the vision of any composer. The trio met and began performing together regularly at the Cortona Sessions for New Music in Italy (one of the premiere summer programs for contemporary music in the world) and decided to begin concertizing regularly in 2019. The trio members are all also active educators in the United States, teaching at Vanderbilt University, Roosevelt University, and Florida State University respectively. Jung is regarded as the world’s finest marimba player, winning the world’s top two competitions for the instrument. Praised as “spectacular” by the Los Angeles Times and “extraordinary” by the Ventura County Star, the Times describes her as “a centered player who can give the impression of being very still yet at all places at once.” Choi is chair of the piano department at Roosevelt University. For over twenty-five years, he has been one of the most in-demand pianists in contemporary music and has won the prestigious Orleans Piano Competition; a recent recording by Choi was given five stars by BBC Music Magazine. Deibel was a first prize winner in both the Fischoff and the NASA Quartet competitions with the h2 quartet, and has premiered hundreds of works for his instrument by both established and emerging composers. Trio Nebbia has premiered music by Georges Aperghis and Jean-Patrick Besingrand, and will give the premiere of a new work written for the ensemble by Pulitzer Prize winner and McArthur Genius Grant winner Tyshawn Sorey in 2025.
