The Mendelssohn Trio (Erik Peterson, violin; Barbara Thiem, cello; Bryan Wallick, piano) was formed in 1988 and is named for Thiem's great grandfather Franz von Mendelssohn, a nephew of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. The trio is in residence at Colorado State University.
Ensembles vary in size from duos to octets, and we especially emphasize collaboration with singers and other instrumentalists. The groups cover music from the Renaissance to the present day.
