MEET THE ARTISTS
The Miraflores Trio	The Miraflores Trio, a dynamic young piano trio, was recently called “stunning” by The Santa Barbara Independent, which also stated “they would have bowled us over (with) whatever they played”. Pianist Theresa Kim, violinist Yumi Cho and cellist Sarah Koo began playing together as a trio at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, CA. The Trio's studies have led them to work with esteemed musicians such as Peter Salaff, Jerome Lowenthal, Zvi Zeitlin, Jonathan Feldman, Darrett Adkins and Alan Stepansky. The Miraflores Trio's goals include educational outreach through bringing music awareness to public schools and other children's venues, as well as a performance focus on both the classic pieces and new music repertoire
