Leonari Piano Trio

Two years of screaming abuse and a lotta chamber love later, they plucked the blondest child (Hilary Hayes) from kindergarten to contribute on the fiddle - Leonari Trio was born, an event not yet noted in Grove's Dictionary. The Trio is tutored by members of NZ Chamber Soloists at the University of Waikato.
