Triple Helix honored
The members of Triple Helix were named “Musicians of the Year”
for 2002 by Boston Globe classical music critic Richard Dyer. The piano
trio, which includes violinist Bayla Keyes, a CFA associate professor
in the school of music, also received the nod for the third consecutive
year for “Best of 2002, Chamber Music” for its Beethoven Project.
The project drew, according to Dyer, “some of the largest and happiest
crowds of the season.”
“Triple Helix is our choice for musicians of the year,” Dyer
writes in the Globe on December 29, 2002, “because this superb piano
trio represents everything we value in locally based musicians. Violinist
Bayla Keyes, cellist Rhonda Rider, and pianist Lois Shapiro combine scholarship,
experience, and improvisatory abandon in equal measure. Their strong individual
personalities collide and explode into an extraordinary fourth personality,
the trio. They have built an audience and turned it into a community that
they both lead and serve.”
