the priceless STRADIVARIUS COLLECTION. The Herrick Trio appeared
as a guest on the popular live music program from WNYC, Around
New York. They were praised in the Strad Magazine for "bringing
out the contrasting style of Joshua Rosenblum's Six Little Pieces
and giving"a new dimension to Haydn's 'Gypsy' Trio".

works written for the Trio. In January of 2002 they recorded
Variations for Piano Trio, written for The Herrick Trio for a
Joshua Rosenblum CD.

the Odds, a poetic rendition of Hanging by a String.
Marilyn Gibson has also written Soul Songs, a book of poetry
and The Light Messengers: Summoning Michael, a science fiction
