Uniquely committed to repeat performances and developing the string trio repertoire through adventurous commissions, Chartreuse has premiered works by dozens of composers and toured extensively in the U.S. Northeast, Midwest, and California, as well as in Norway. Cleveland Classical described the trio in concert as “a maelstrom almost tactile in its grittiness” and “as much fun to watch as to listen to.”

Equally devoted to education, Chartreuse has given performances and workshops for students of all ages at institutions including SUNY Fredonia, Oberlin College’s Winter Term Chamber Music Intensive, the Norges Musikkhøgskole in Oslo, Toneheim Folkehøgskole, Tromsø University, middle schools in Philadelphia and Cleveland, and Kendal at Oberlin. Recently, the trio recorded an opera with Amber Vistein, premiered works by members of the 113 Composers Collective and will appear in the dream project of Katie Young and Linda Jankowska ‘boundarymind’.
