Trio Globo has crafted a totally original voice in contemporary acoustic music with combustible spontaneity, rhythmic influences derived from six continents and diverse musical roots that span jazz, classical and sacred traditions. Eugene Friesen (Paul Winter Consort), Howard Levy (Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Paquito d'Rivera) and Glen Velez (Paul Winter Consort, Steve Reich) bring three unique musical visions together to create original work that is instantly recognizable as their own. For their Wesleyan program--Sounds from a Beautiful World--Trio Globo integrates musical beauty from the rhythms and melodies of the world. In the hands of these three original masters, seemingly disparate musical traditions are transformed into personal revelation and synthesized into unexpected marriages. Trio Globo creates a unique performance charged with virtuosity, rhythm, melody and wit.
