Music has the power to form a spontaneous, yet deep bond between strangers. There's no better example than during the Neave Piano trio's debut performance when they met a terminally ill man named Bruce. On that night, they played a piece by Beethoven that revived Bruce's spirits and transported him away from pain. Without speaking, the four of them were bonded by the potent emotions evoked by the work of that bent German composer. Months later, Bruce would pass away, but not before writing a thank you letter on the back of the sheet music from that evening. As a tribute, the trio named themselves after Bruce's daughter, Neave, a Gaelic name meaning radiant and bright.
