The Zukerman Trio emerged out of the Zukerman Chamber Players with an official launch in 2013. Since then, the ensemble has performed globally in Japan, China, Australia, Spain, Italy, France, Hungary, Canada, South Africa, Istanbul, Russia and Germany. The Trio has appeared at major North American festivals, including Ravinia, Tanglewood, Aspen, Bravo! Vail and Banff and European festivals in Edinburgh, Verbier and Schleswig Holstein. In 2020, pianist Shai Wosner joined Zukerman and cellist Amanda Forsyth, and the three continue to find joy and inspiration performing the classical trio and duo literature.
In the 2024-2025 season, the Zukerman Trio can be seen in Sonoma and Orange County, California; Sedona, Arizona; and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; as well as in New York City with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Earlier in 2024, their European tour included stops in Berlin, Germany; Concabella, Alicante, and Valencia, Spain. Recently, Mr. Zukerman and Mr. Wosner traveled to China for a recital tour, while Mr. Zukerman and Ms. Forsyth made their debut at Wolf Trap with pianist Michael Stephen Brown.
Canadian Juno award winning cellist Amanda Forsyth is considered among her peers and critics alike to be one of the most dynamic cellists on the concert stage today. Describing a recent performance, California’s Ventura County Star raves: “In Forsyth’s hands, it was sheer magic.” She has achieved an international reputation as a premiere soloist and chamber musician and previously enthralled audiences as the principal cellist of both The Calgary Philharmonic and Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestras. Her intense richness of tone, exceptional musicality and passion are reminiscent of cellists of a former age. She captivates audiences with every phrase.
