PROJECT Trio

Education/Outreach

 

Mission Statement:  PROJECT Trio is dedicated to galvanizing artistic awareness through performance, education and community engagement. We believe that there is a direct correlation between artistry and scholastic achievement. Creativity encourages critical thinking. By combining classical repertoire with elements of hip-hop and popular music, PROJECT Trio engages today’s younger audience.

PROJECT Trio has performed for over 100,000 students on 3 continents, including over 35 states in the US. 


With over 74,000,000 views on youtube and appearances on popular TV shows on Nickelodeon and MTV, PROJECT Trio is instantly recognizable to students of all ages. 


By presenting instrumental music fused with hip-hop, rock, and pop, PROJECT Trio truly bridges the gap between classical music and pop culture.
