Tilden Trio

Tilden Trio was formed in 2004 by Juilliard schoolmates, Sarn Oliver (violin), Peter Wyrick (cello) and June Choi Oh (piano) after collaborating for decades in various ensembles, starting in the pre-college days.  The North Bay Classical Music wrote; “The Tilden Trio is now one of the Bay Area’s most sought after ensembles, and rightfully so.  It was a concert one won’t soon forget…future concerts by the trio shouldn’t be missed.”     

This season, Tilden Trio’s concerts have included performances in Berkeley Chamber Series, Noe Valley Chamber Series, Sonoma Classical Society, Manteca Kindred Arts, and Oakmont Concert Series, as well as return performances in Chancellor’s Series at University of California, San Francisco, Dominican University Guest Concert Series, and San Francisco Symphony Chamber Music Series at Davis Symphony Hall. The trio was one of the featured artists for the 2007 Music Teacher’s Association of California Convention (MTAC) where the trio presented a recital and masterclasses.  Past April, the trio appeared as soloists in Beethoven’s “Triple Concerto” with Diablo Symphony Orchestra at Dean Lesher Theater. 

Upcoming concerts will include perforrmances in Cabrillo College, St. Mary’s College, Four Seasons Concert at Holy Names College, Kutstown University (PA) Aarowhead Arts Concert and a multi-island concert tour of Hawaii as well as the return engagements in University of California at San Francisco, Dominican University and Davies Symphony Hall.
