About

Combining the talents of three internationally-acclaimed, award-winning soloists, the musicians of the Sheridan Solisti Trio hail from distinctly different parts of the world, yet own a single vision for musical artistry. Persian-American Violinist, Cyrus Forough, is noted for the “fiery intensity” and “poetic vision” of his playing, while Ukrainian-American cellist Nazar Dzhuryn’s playing has been described as “captivating and inspiring”. Steinway Artist Susan Merdinger’s performances have been hailed as “atmospheric and ethereal” and “virtuosic and refined”. Together, the trio represents the finest musical legacies of the 20th century, with Cyrus being a protege of David Oistrakh, Nazar a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory under Igor Gavrysh, and Susan a protege of several pianist “legends”, including Claude Frank and Constance Keene.
