Trio Oko will perform during Bay Chamber's Midday Music Series, Wednesday, Jan. 15, from 1 - 2 p.m.

"The eclectic harp trio is a rare bird in the chamber music world," said Tamara Kerrill Field, Bay Chamber's Marketing and Communications Coordinator, in a news release. "And its three musicians use the unique instrumentation to dazzle." 

Trio Oko’s members, violinist Emma Powell, cellist Mina Kim, and harpist Charles Overton, are united by a mutual belief in the power of music to create meaningful human connections. The Boston-based trio met at the Tanglewood Music Center in 2016. 

Their Midday Music program of early 20th Century French music weaves together the spirited nuances of Jacques Ibert’s Trio with the elegant lyricism of Henriette Renié’s Trio.

The ensemble aims to expand the harp trio repertoire by commissioning new works and arrangements. Their intention is to showcase the diverse capabilities of this distinctive instrumentation. 

Trio Oko members shared the Japanese dish okonomiyaki (cooked by master chef, Emma) during their first rehearsal and their name was born. They are committed to bringing joy to concert halls through their collaborations and friendship. 

Tickets: Age 35+: $32 | 22-34: $20 | 21 & Under: Pay What You Wish.
