Its concerts have been broadcast live by Norddeutscher Rundfunk in Hamburg, Radio France and NPR stations in the United States; the trio has toured Europe and the USA and held residencies at Tanglewood, Yale University, the Oberlin Conservatory, Vanderbilt University and the University of Pittsburgh. Individually, its members hold positions at the Juilliard School, the Oberlin Conservatory, the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz in Cologne and the Boston Conservatory. The trio presents complete cycles of the piano chamber music of Schumann, Fauré, Brahms, Schubert, Dvoák and Beethoven; at its tenth Ode to Joy festival at the University of Hartford in 2024, it brought together more than 100 artists to mark the centenary of Fauré's death. A fervent advocate of contemporary music, the Lions Gate Trio has worked closely with composers such as Ralph Shapey, Augusta Read Thomas, Eric Moe, Evan Williams, Jennifer Higdon and Nicolas Bacri. Winner of the Koussevitzky Prize for its recordings, it has recorded for Triton and Centaur, including new American trios, the duos and trios of Nicolas Bacri, the complete Schumann trios and the trios of Ravel, Ives and Rebecca Clarke.
