Italian pianist Erika Crinó is very active both as a chamber musician and a soloist. Several of her performances have been featured on CBC Radio, including a solo recital for Debut Friday Series, a performance of chamber music with percussionist Salvador Ferreras, a performance of Stravinsky's "Concerto for Two Pianos" with pianist Brett Kingsbury, and, more recently, the performance of Jocelyn Morlock's "Involuntary Love Songs", with soprano Vania Chan, winner of the special prize at the Eckhard-Gramatté Competition.

With Trio sTREga, a trio dedicated to modern music which she co-founded with clarinetist Katarzyna Marczak during her doctorate at the University of British Columbia, she was invited to perform at the Edmonton Composers Concert Society. Since her move to Toronto, Erika has been music director for two Opera Workshops by TrypTych. Last year Erika performed Bach's Triple Concerto at the Glenn Gould Studio with pianists Robert Silverman and Brett Kingsbury, and the Koffler Chamber Orchestra directed by Jacques Israelievitch. She is currently faculty at the Koffler Centre for the Arts in Toronto.
