One of the Bay Area’s outstanding chamber music groups,
the Maybeck Trio features the clarinetist Roy Zajac,
‘cellist Elaine Kreston and pianist Jerry Kuderna.
Sharing a common passion for chamber music
(and a common Czech ancestry) they bring a
unique combination of passion and refinement
to the classics as well as contemporary works,
some of which were composed especially for them.
Performing a broad range of trios and duos,
their goal is to blend the voices of their instruments
into a singular artistic statement which
mirrors the voice of the composer.

"Though hardly in hiding, the Maybeck Trio
has seldom performed beyond the confines of private residences.
Sunday evening at the Berkeley Arts Center,
superb cellist Elaine Kreston unites with equally excellent pianist
Jerry Kuderna and clarinetist Roy Zajac
to perform Brahms, Rota, Lutoslawski, and Janŕcek."
