Chamber music has always held a special place in Aaron's heart. He regularly performs with the Romm Trio, alongside his parents, trumpet legend Ronald Romm and Steinway Artist Avis Romm. They have dazzled audiences internationally with their deeply engaging and warm concert experiences. Since 2019, they have been adding to their list of video and audio recordings, which began with "Showdown at the Hoedown", a piece written for the Romms by Charles Reskin, as well as Aaron's arrangement of J.S. Bach: "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" (BWV 565).  If you want to see and hear more of their work, head on over to Aaron's YouTube channel, or subscribe here.
