Since its inception in January 2013, Ellipsis Trio has been the recipient of the Rosenbloom Foundation Career Grant and completed two residencies at Avaloch Farm Music Institute. In recent months, Ellipsis Trio has worked with composers John Harbison and Tod Machover on their works for piano trio and commissioned new piano trios from composer D.J. Sparr (premiered April 2014) and Igor Iwanek.
