Based in Brooklyn, PROJECT Trio emerged from a classical background, but has found an unconventional and energetic voice through the exploration of unique performance techniques. Their obsession with program versatility and contrast of musical style is executed by Flutist Greg Pattillo, Cellist Eric Stephenson, and Double Bassist Peter Seymour. Simply put, their music synthesizes Hip-hop, Rock, Bluegrass, Americana, Jazz, and Classical music to create their truly distinctive sound. Ian Ding, Principal Percussionist for the Detroit Symphony puts it this way: "The PROJECT Trio lights it up every time they play! I can't think of another “classical" ensemble with so many infectious grooves and such a brilliant sense of fun. These guys are for real!" Frank Rosenwien, the principal Oboist for the Cleveland Orchestra, adds: "PROJECT Trio is the rarest of musical ensembles; virtuosic and exuberant, but also incredibly subtle and introspective. This trio is made up of some of the most creative people from the classical music world." http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/projectmusic3
