The Sirens Trio (click Picture to go to web site) was formed in 2005 by three professional musicians who loved performing together and bringing enjoyable and exciting chamber music to audiences. The evening will delight you with the sounds of Rebecca Olson, flute, Victoria Raez, oboe and Maria Manza , piano.
These musicians have continued that tradition of delightful music-making in such diverse venues as The Old Church in Portland, the Brookings Chamber Music Series, The Magenta Theater, and Oregon State University.
Erin Sneller from Oregon State University writes: "Thank you for performing on our Music à la Carte concert series. Your chamber trio delighted our audience! The repertoire you performed was an enjoyable mix of traditional and contemporary, and your interesting comments about the compositions really enhanced the experience for our listeners. I sincerely hope that the Sirens are up for a return engagement in the near future! BRAVO! "
Jaynie Roberts, the Artistic Director of the Magenta Theater Company says, "...I just wanted to tell you how lovely the concert was tonight. Such beautiful music floating through the air - it was just delightful! I have never heard our piano sound so lovely before! ....The ambiance you created in the auditorium was exquisite. So very, very charming... Thank you for a delightful evening! The Sirens are amazing!!"
The final concert in this series will be Cul An Ti (Celtic Music) on Tuesday, April 20, 2010.
