The Richmond Youth Concert Trio was founded by Emma-Marie Dulog, Talia Pirron and Thea Rugg. The three girls met through homeschool groups and music programs when they were young and have always enjoyed making music together. In fall of 2014 they decided to start performing at local farmers markets and thus the Richmond Youth Concert Trio was founded! Since then, they have enjoyed playing for various local farmers markets, business events and private parties! Continue on this page to read more about our members!
