Biography
The Reverón Piano Trio performs with a "truthful, organic sound of excellent quality" (Melómano Magazine, Spain) and "exudes virtuosity" (El Nuevo Día, Puerto Rico) in their efforts to bring to audiences the vivid sounds of underrepresented music from Latin America. As internationally acclaimed performers, dedicated pedagogues, and passionate entrepreneurs, the trio is helping reshape the landscape of chamber music. Their dedication goes beyond the stage—they dive deep into discovery, cataloging, performing, editing, and recording the vibrant Latin American repertoire. The Reverón Piano Trio also commissions and premieres new works, ensuring that fresh voices and bold ideas continue to enrich the world of music. Recent collaborations include La Hamaca (2021) and El Ventilador (2022), written for the trio by renowned Venezuelan-American composer Ricardo Lorenz, and the world premiere of Barroqueada (2020) by Grammy-nominated composer Miguel del Águila.
The Reveron Trio has performed at countless venues in Europe, North, and South America such as Music at Kohl Mansion in San Francisco, the National Gallery of DC, the Casals Festival in Puerto Rico, and the Cervantino Festival in Mexico. Additionally, the trio has been in residence at numerous universities in the U.S. and abroad. Their first audio recording, produced and distributed globally by the prestigious European label IBS Classical, garnered ravishing reviews and won a Melómano de Oro award in Spain.
Their 2025-2026 season includes concerts in Oregon, Georgia, Aruba, Texas, and Mexico, including a performance of Beethoven’s triple piano concerto, and the release of their second audio recording, Imaginario Latinoamericano, produced and distributed globally by Urtext Records, and the recording of their third album with IBS Classical in Granada, Spain.
The Reverón Trio is named after Venezuelan painter and sculptor Armando Reverón (1889- 1954), one of the earliest American modernists and considered one of the most important visual artists in Latin America. Even though Reverón is now regarded as a highly influential figure in Latin America, his work is not celebrated outside the borders of Venezuela. Ana María, Simón, and Horacio are all Venezuelan artists that have made their home in the United States, teaching at the University of Michigan and the University of North Texas, respectively. The trio is managed in partnership by Halac Artists and Meluk Kulturmanagement.
