The Apollo Trio is one of the Chicago metropolitan area’s premiere chamber music ensembles. It was founded in 1995 as a woodwind ensemble. Over the years it has incorporated harp, piano, and strings. Currently the trio is made up of three of the city’s finest musicians: Scott Metlicka, flute; Matt Agnew, cello: and Paul Nicholson, piano. Members perform regularly with the Elgin Symphony, Grant Park Symphony, Chicago Opera Theater, Illinois Philharmonic, Metropolis Symphony and Light Opera Works of Evanston. Members have also performed on Live from Studio One on WFMT radio. The ensemble enjoys performing different styles, particularly music written for the combination of flute, cello and piano.
