The Project Trio is a classical music group that has been captivating audiences with their unique blend of classical, jazz, and hip-hop music since their formation in 2005. The group consists of three members: Greg Pattillo on flute, Eric Stephenson on cello, and Peter Seymour on bass. The birth of The Project Trio can be traced back to the early 2000s when Greg Pattillo was studying at the Cleveland Institute of Music. Pattillo had a passion for both classical music and beatboxing, and he began experimenting with combining the two. He soon realized that he could create a new sound by beatboxing while playing the flute, and he began performing this style of music in small venues around Cleveland. In 2005, Pattillo met Eric Stephenson and Peter Seymour, who were both studying at the Manhattan School of Music. The three musicians quickly bonded over their shared love of classical music and their desire to push the boundaries of the genre. They began performing together as The Project Trio, and their unique sound quickly caught the attention of audiences and critics alike. One of the highlights of The Project Trio's early career was their performance at the 2006 National Flute Association Convention in Pittsburgh. The group's energetic and innovative performance earned them a standing ovation and helped to establish them as a rising force in the classical music world. Over the years, The Project Trio has continued to push the boundaries of classical music, incorporating elements of jazz, hip-hop, and rock into their performances. They have released several albums, including "Winter in June" and "When Will Then Be Now," which have received critical acclaim and helped to expand the group's fan base. In addition to their recordings, The Project Trio has also gained a reputation for their dynamic live performances. They have performed at some of the world's most prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Sydney Opera House. They have also collaborated with a wide range of artists, including Yo-Yo Ma, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and the San Francisco Ballet. One of the most memorable performances in The Project Trio's career was their appearance on the hit television show "America's Got Talent" in 2010. The group's energetic and innovative performance earned them a standing ovation from the judges and helped to introduce their music to a wider audience. In addition to their performances, The Project Trio has also received numerous awards and accolades for their music. They were named the winners of the 2012 CMA/ASCAP Adventurous Programming Award, which recognizes innovative programming in classical music. They have also been featured in numerous publications, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and NPR. Despite their success, The Project Trio remains committed to pushing the boundaries of classical music and exploring new sounds and styles. They continue to tour and perform around the world, bringing their unique blend of classical, jazz, and hip-hop music to audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
