PROJECT Trio + Friends Select Ensemble

Sunday, February 24
12:00

World Cafe Live: 3025 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA

PROJECT Trio – with Greg Pattillo, flute; Eric Stephenson, cello; and Peter Seymour, bass – is pushing the boundaries of classical music with a high-octane mix of jazz, hip-hop and rock. Acclaimed as “packed with musicianship, joy and surprise” by Downbeat Magazine and hailed for their “wide appeal, subversive humor and first-rate playing” by the Wall Street Journal, the Trio performs over 70 concerts a year, playing to fans of all ages in venues around the world. They are an internet sensation with over 71 million views and 78,000 subscribers on their YouTube channel, including Greg’s phenomenal beatboxing flute.

In this family-friendly concert, PROJECT Trio will perform a mix of original compositions and exciting arrangements, with favorites such as Peter and the Wolf, the William Tell Overture, a J.S. Bach/Jethro Tull Bourée and Beethoven’s 5th Symphony Jam.

They will be joined by percussion and orchestral ensembles from Friends Select School who will bring their own blend of unusual instrumentation and enthusiastic performance to the concert.
