The name "Delyria" is an acronym consisting of the first names of its members: David Strongin (Violin), Uriah Tutter (Cello) and Elisha Kravitz (Piano). 

​

The term "Delirium" can be used today in a broader sense to describe an abnormally heightened emotional state. On the other hand, "Delyria" also draws from the etymology of the word "Lyric". 

​

For the Trio, both of these polarities exist in the music - certainly in chamber music - and can even coexist within one piece: the ordered and aesthetic along with dangerous and wild.
