Anthony Trionfo won first prize at the 2016 Young Concert Artists International auditions and additional prizes including the prestigious Michaels Award, Saint Vincent College Concert Series Prize, Ruth Laredo Award, and Lied Center of Kansas Prize. He received the further distinction of being the first YCA artist to win the inaugural LP Classics Debut Recording Prize, granting him a commercial recording. In 2018, he debuted in the YCA Series at New York’s Merkin Concert Hall and Washington DC’s Kennedy Center, premiering a new work by YCA Composer-in-Residence Katherine Balch.
In 2012, Anthony Trionfo performed with the “President’s Own” Marine Band. In 2013, he appeared on “From the Top” as a recipient of the Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award and won the Alexander & Buono International Flute and National Young Arts Foundation competitions.
