Get ready for a high-energy, genre-blending afternoon with PROJECT Trio! Known for their electrifying stage presence, the trio fuses classical, jazz, hip-hop, and world music for audiences of all ages. This free concert features a program ranging from Mozart and Bach to Bernstein and Beatles classics, alongside original works by PROJECT Trio themselves. Praised by Gramophone for “ranging from Baroque to nu-Metal and taking in pretty much every stylism in between,” the group brings their infectious energy and playful creativity to Newport, transforming our stage into a playground of rhythm, melody, and surprise.
