Artist Series Concerts of Sarasota Presents PROJECT Trio and Three of Sarasota Opera’s Rising Stars

Artist Series Concerts of Sarasota (ASC) is pleased to bring back PROJECT Trio after their blockbuster performance two season ago. They perform at Plantation Golf and Country Club on December 8.

Back by popular demand following their blockbuster ASC appearance during the 2024-2025 season, PROJECT Trio – Greg Pattillo, flute; Daniel Berkey, saxophone; Peter Seymour, double bass – returns December 8, 5:30 p.m. at Plantation Golf and Country Club, with another of their genre-blending performances unlike anything you’ve heard before. Featuring a beatboxing flutist whom The New York Times dubbed “the best in the world at what he does,” PROJECT Trio’s repertoire spans everything from Mozart and Bach to Charlie Parker, Bernstein, Grieg, and The Beatles. They combine classical training with jazz, hip-hop, and rock — performed with the spontaneity of a jazz club and the precision of the concert hall. Tickets are $85 and include dinner.

Lifted in Song features three of Sarasota Opera’s finest performing a program of opera arias, art song, operetta, and holiday favorites. Soprano Virginia Mims has performed leading roles with opera companies across the U.S. and will appear as Violetta in Sarasota Opera’s 2027 production of La Traviata. Baritone Jake Stamatis made his role debuts as Don Alfonso in Così fan tutte and Danilo in The Merry Widow during Sarasota Opera’s 2026 season. He will appear as Captain Corcoran in Sarasota Opera’s 2027 production of H.M.S. Pinafore. The pair are joined by Sarasota Opera’s Jessé Martins on piano. This Lunch and Listen concert is December 17, 11:00 a.m. at Sarasota Yacht Club. Tickets are $85 and include lunch.
