raphael trioMusic for a Sunday Afternoon - The Raphael Trio

In November of 1975, the Raphael Trio made "a most auspicious debut" (The New York Times) at Carnegie Hall as winners of the Concert Artists Guild Award. They have since been presented regularly in the leading concert halls of the United States and Europe. In celebration of their 25th anniversary, they performed the complete Beethoven trios in cycles at the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, at Marlboro College and in New York at the Kosciusko Foundation. In addition to their commitment to presenting the standard repertoire as well as the lesser-known works by the great composers, the Raphael Trio maintain an active role in commissioning, performing and recording works written for them by contemporary composers.

Smith's work has appeared in New York City’s First Street Gallery and the 55 Mercer Street Gallery, as well as the Saul Kofler Gallery in Providence, Rhode Island, and at Dartmouth College. The New York Times has characterized the sculptor's oeuvre as being "about relationships that seem at the same time provisional and inevitable ... quietly whimsical, seriously perverse."
