Named after the 53-mile river formed by the convergence of the Saluda and the Broad, the Congaree Trio was formed in 2021 by University of South Carolina faculty members Phillip Bush, Ari Streisfeld, and Claire Bryant. United by a shared vision, the trio is committed to performing music that spans generations — championing living composers, seminal contemporary works, and overlooked gems from the past. With a spirit of convergence at its core, the Congaree Trio seeks to expand the traditional piano trio repertoire while celebrating its rich history. Collectively, its members have performed on leading concert stages worldwide, holding membership with esteemed ensembles such as JACK Quartet, Phillip Glass ensemble, and Decoda, among others. The members of the Congaree Trio appear on numerous acclaimed recordings across both contemporary and classical traditions.
