Nantucket Arts Council Downtown Concert Series Presents: Trio Vivo, Flute, Saxophone and Piano  

About Trio Vivo...

In the fall of 2015 saxophonist Bruce Abbott contacted two musicians he had long admired - pianist Lucy Banner and flutist Mariellen Sears - to see if they might be interested in meeting to play through some classical repertoire. A date was made, and at the end of that very exciting first session Lucy and Mariellen asked if all were available to meet the following week. Trio Vivo was born! And the threesome has continued to meet weekly ever since. Exploring new repertoire while honing older material, preparing and organizing concert programs, and enjoying the beauty that results from combining their creative energy. Viva la Trio Vivo!

Trio Vivo performs classical music of varied style and mood by composers from the Baroque era to the present day. We travel from early conservative to edgy contemporary as we explore the exciting possibilities that this unusual ensemble of piano, flute and saxophone inspires.
