As part of the Juilliard Chamber Music program, Nikka formed the Orion’s Bow Trio, featuring Ari Peraza-Webb (cello) and Saul Ibarra-Ramos (piano), coached by renowned pianist Jerome Lowenthal. Presenting their debut with Weber’s Trio in G Minor, this performance will take place at the historic St. Paul’s Chapel, Columbia University. The name of the ensemble originates from the constellation Orion’s Belt, which has three stars. It represents "a cosmic gateway between the earthly and spiritual realms, illustrating how we can use our free will to ascend to a higher plane of existence through creative power". Orion himself is an archer in mythology, so he holds a bow and arrow, directly correlating to the bow of the cello.
