The Avondale Trio is comprised of Kenichi Kiyama, Kelsee Vandervall, and Shi-An Costello. Kenichi Kiyama, violin, currently attends Roosevelt University where he is receiving his MM and Graduate Diploma under the direction of Almita Vamos. 

As a Chicago based freelancer, a typical day for this cellist ranges from recording sessions to orchestral performances. With education at Columbia College Chicago and the University of Michigan, Kelsee Vandervall has received training from world renown faculty and opportunities to collaborate with many of today’s popular artists.

Chicago-based composer and pianist Shi-An Costello has recorded two albums: Posthumous and Rounded Binary. Upcoming projects include an album of electronic music (water), commissioning/recording new works for the prepared piano (Prepared), and a project of structured improvisations around sonata form (Development).
