Based in Atlanta, the Tangent Trio was formed in the summer of 2019. The name Tangent is inspired by each member’s personality and background coming from a different direction but converging to express their interpretation of music together. The string trio is coached by musicians of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra under the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra (ASYO) Chamber Players program. The trio entered the semi-final round of the 2020 Coltman National Chamber Music Competition and recently won first prize in the High School Division of the 2020 Franklin Pond Chamber Music Competition. Members of the trio have served in principal positions in the ASYO and have won and placed in competitions such as the Franklin Pond Chamber Music Competition, the GMTA and MTNA state competitions, and other regional concerto competitions.
