The Eaken Trio will celebrate their 25th year during the 2011-2012 concert season. They have traveled extensively throughout America, Canada, Europe, and Asia. They were "Artists in Residence" for 10 years at Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA, and have held residencies at many other colleges and universities including Harvard, Stanford, USC, The University of Maryland, and Penn State. The Trio is heard regularly on classical music radio including National Public Radio's All Things Considered and Performance Today, and they have 12 commercial CDs under the Naxos, Eroica, Catalpa Classics, and Con Brio labels. Their Home for the Holidays CD was nominated for a Grammy. They have two NPR programs titled Home for the Holidays, which have been aired on over 100 stations nationwide during the last 10 holiday seasons. The programs help raise awareness of the homeless problems in America through the music of the Trio and insights by prominent Americans such as Barbara Bush, Maya Angelou, Leo Buscaglia, Sam Nunn, and many others. The Trio has been the recipient of many commissions including trios written for them by Lalo Shifrin, Gerald Shipiro, Timothy Greatbatch, and others. In 2010 they will be premiering works by composers Mike Garson and Allen Menton.
