One of the most exciting Piano Trios to emerge on the international chamber music scene, Trio Magnoliana is poised to become a globally-recognized ensemble of artistic distinction. Founded in 2023, this dynamic new Piano Trio features violinist Mann-Wen Lo, cellist Eunghee Cho, and pianist Andrew Staupe, all accredited concert soloists and faculty members at the University of Houston, and each ensemble member brings a wealth of professional chamber music experience to this riveting new artistic partnership. 

Performances of Trio Magnoliana feature masterpieces spanning the entirety of the vast piano trio repertoire, from works of the early Baroque Era through the music of our time. The ensemble has commissioned distinguished composer Rob Smith for a new Piano Trio in the 2023-2024, and has a strong commitment to performing music written and commissioned for the group in future concert seasons. Trio Magnoliana is also passionate about discovering and performing underplayed or unknown Piano Trios composed through the centuries and bringing them to life once more in concert.

As faculty members of the University of Houston, Trio Magnoliana is firmly committed to music education, and is thrilled to inspire the next generation of young musicians around the world through various school residencies, master classes, and presentations.
