The trio is a top prizewinner of competitions including the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and Chamber Music Yellow Springs, and are also finalists in the YCA and Naumburg competitions.

Cellist Thomas Lim joined Trio Eris in 2026, adding a fresh energy and collaborative spirit that has quickly become central to the trio’s evolving sound.
