About the Artists
New York Philharmonic Concertmaster Glenn Dicterow formed the Amerigo Trio with violist Karen Dreyfus and cellist Inbal Segev following their acclaimed collaboration at the Bowdoin International Chamber Music Festival. Praised by The Strad for its “personality, purpose and captivating energy,” the ensemble has appeared at leading venues nationwide, including the Castleton Festival, Symphony Space, and the Phillips Collection.
Of a Washington, D.C. performance, The Washington Post wrote:
“Dicterow’s sweet, large, tightly focused tone gave the ensemble a rock-solid leading voice… It was in its finely woven blend of timbres and rapport that the trio most deeply satisfied.”
Named for explorer Amerigo Vespucci, the trio is dedicated to exploring the breadth of the string trio repertoire.
