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.
