Founded in 2017 by three professors at Youngstown State University’s Dana School of Music, the Dana Piano Trio performs and teaches around the United States. The trio members — violinist Joseph Kromholz, cellist Kivie Cahn-Lipman, and pianist Cicilia Yudha — each have active performing careers as soloists and chamber musicians. They hold degrees from many conservatories, including the Juilliard School, New England Conservatory, Cleveland Institute of Music, and Oberlin Conservatory.
