trio nebbia

Founded in 2020, Trio Nebbia combines winds, strings, and percussion to create a comprehensive sonic palate that can adapt to the vision of any composer. The members of the trio met and perform regularly at the Cortona Sessions for New Music in Italy, one of the premiere summer programs for contemporary music. All three members are on faculty at Cortona, and also began performing recitals together in the United States in 2020. Trio Nebbia consists of the internationally acclaimed percussionist Ji Hye Jung (Vanderbilt University), prize-winning pianist Winston Choi (Roosevelt University), and saxophonist Geoffrey Deibel (Florida State University). Jung is generally regarded as the world’s finest marimba player, winning the world’s top two competitions for the instrument. The Los Angeles Times has described her playing as “spectacular.” Choi is chair of the piano department at Roosevelt University (Chicago). For over twenty-five years, he has been one of the most indemand pianists in contemporary music and has won the prestigious Orleans Piano Competition; a recent recording by Choi was given five stars by BBC Music Magazine. The ensemble has premiered music by Georges Aperghis and Jean-Patrick Besingrand, and will give the premiere of a new work written for the ensemble by Pulitzer Prize winner and McArthur Genius Grant winner Tyshawn Sorey.
