Project, the New York City-based trio of Cleveland Institute of Music graduates, will perform a special concert on the Chagrin Arts 2010 Winter Series.
The concert is March 14 at 4 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center at Chagrin Falls High School, 400 East Washington St.
Ticket prices range from $5 to $28, and may be purchased by calling the Chagrin Foundation for Arts and Culture at 440-247-9700 or visiting www.chagrinfoundation.org online.
Project was founded four years ago by three graduates of the Cleveland Institute of Music: flutist Greg Pattillo, cellist Eric Stephenson, and bassist Peter Seymour. Now living in Brooklyn, New York, the three composer/performers have gained international recognition for their programs that "blur the lines of classical music" while retaining a strong allegiance to classical training.
Flutist Pattillo earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees from the Cleveland Institute of Music as a student of Joshua Smith, principal flutist of the Cleveland Orchestra. In addition to performing with Project, Pattillo is a frequent soloist throughout the United States, member of the Lalo Quintet, and a featured performer at The Box in New York City.
Cellist Eric Stephenson's style ranges from classical to jazz to rock and folk. He is currently a member of the IRIS Chamber Orchestra in Memphis, Tennessee and the Colorado Music Festival. Stephenson served as Principal Cellist of the Canton Symphony Orchestra from 2002 to 2006, was a regular substitute for the Cleveland Orchestra, and was Assistant Principal Cello of the Aspen Festival Orchestra from 1999 to 2004.
Dallas native Peter Seymour has performed with a multitude of highly acclaimed artists and ensembles. He has been a member of the Cleveland Orchestra, where he performed under the baton of Franz Welser-Möst, and the New World Symphony under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas. He received a Bachelor of Music degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music and a Master of Music degree in Bass Performance from Rice University.
Project first performed in Chagrin Falls in May 2009, when it was the featured performer for Fire Up!, the annual benefit for the Chagrin Foundation for Arts & Culture.
