St. Clair Trio
Geoffrey Applegate, violin
Marcy Chanteaux, cello
Pauline Martin, piano

Pianist Pauline Martin continues to dazzle her audiences, winning world-class recognition for her solo and chamber music performances.  Of her solo on the first-round Grammy-nominated CD ‘Hobson’s Choice’ (the first of a series with Koch International Classics), Audio Adventure Magazine wrote, "Pauline Martin makes a meal of this one - her fast movements sparkle and the notes ripple off the keyboard with a life of their own". Described as “magnificent” by Strad Magazine, this Koch International Classics disc features Pauline Martin in solo and chamber works by the Oscar-winning British composer Sir Malcolm Arnold. Old Acquaintances, a CD of works by Franz Waxman, performed by the ‘St. Clair Trio and Friends’ (Koch label) received the 2001 Record Award, presented by the Chamber Music America/WQXR FM 96.3. Whether it’s a solo with the Detroit Symphony, a staging of the colossal "Pierrot Lunaire" by Schoenberg or a last minute collaboration with Aretha Franklin, one critic’s headline seems to ring true: Pauline Martin Thrives on Challenges. Small wonder her Michigan fans will brave long commutes to catch her performances. Faculty, Michigan State University Piano Department.

Michigan’s premiere chamber ensemble has been called "Magnificent" by Strad Magazine, "Outstanding" by Now Magazine for its first-round Grammy nominated CD Hobson’s Choice: Works by the Oscar-winning Sir Malcolm Arnold .  Violinist Geoffrey Applegate and ‘cellist Marcy Chanteaux, both Detroit Symphony Orchestra Principals, and pianist Pauline Martin have just release Old Acquaintances, a CD of works by Franz Waxman, (Koch label) received the 2001 Chamber Music America/WQXR FM 96.3 Record Award .  The Trio’s recitals, festivals and residencies feature staples of the literature to Kreisler gems, movie scores and up-and-coming composers, always with engaging commentary. Says Dan Davis of Audio Adventure Magazine, "I can’t imagine better performances. Can’t ask for more, can you?" In residence at Wayne State University, Detroit.
