Project Trio Performs at Hartshorn School

Hartshorn School Fourth Graders recently had the opportunity to enjoy  the music of the highly-regarded chamber-music ensemble Project Trio.

A November field trip to see the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra where the musicians were to be featured was cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy, so Project Trio came to Hartshorn on Feb. 12. 

Hartshorn music teacher Erin Smith was thrilled to be able to reschedule the field trip as a “private concert” by the Trio. Ms. Smith said, “The students and I were very excited about seeing this special group - not only are they classically trained musicians, but their unique style makes chamber music incredibly accessible to young audiences.” 

Project Trio is a Brooklyn-based ensemble who perform an eclectic blend of classical and popular styles with original compositions and modern playing techniques, such as a beatboxing flutist. 

Ms. Smith said, “The assembly was amazing- very fun, inspirational, and memorable!  We hope they can come back!”
