SONOS Trio at the Oxford Community Center: “Coming To America, A 250-Year Musical Journey”

SONOS is Chamber Music with a Twist. Led by acclaimed pianist Rachel Franklin and featuring the consummate talents of violinist Christian Tremblay and fretless bass player Jonathan Miles Brown, their programs explore the cross-pollination between different musical art forms, with compelling stories of how these musical cultures intersect. Blurring the edges between timeless chamber works and jazz improvisation, SONOS have performed widely throughout the mid-Atlantic area, delighting audiences with their imaginative storytelling, unique instrumental sounds, and fiery virtuosity.

Coming to America celebrates the extraordinarily rich cultural and musical heritage of the United States, fueled and fertilized by the contributions of those who came for a better life, those who came to escape persecution, and those who came enslaved. The program features spirituals and immigration songs, jazz, and classical works from Beethoven to Bernstein.
