Trio Animoso is a virtuosic and innovative ensemble that combines the artistry of flutist Sophia Jean, violist Julian Seney, and harpist Subin Lee.

The Spanish word “Animoso” translates to “spirited or animated” which captures the essence of this dynamic ensemble, each member bringing a captivating artistic persona. The trio seeks to showcase the beauty of the historical Debussy trio while broadening the repertoire of this instrumentation by commissioning works by new composers and by presenting the lesser known but extraordinary works of underrepresented composers.

All members students at the Yale School of Music, Trio Animoso is based in New Haven, Connecticut and regularly performs in the greater Connecticut and New England area. Trio was recently named 1st Place Winner of the International Harp Competition “Angel Padilla Crespo.”
