O Sole Trio- "Pavoratti to Pop" A Classical Crossover

O Sole Trio is a vibrant, New York based, musical ensemble featuring the lush voices of soprano Erin Shields, baritone Giuseppe Spoletini along with the versatile and virtuosic David Shenton on piano and violin. O Sole Trio takes you on a musical journey, revealing how Italian Americans influenced the American popular music scene throughout the decades. O Sole Trio's shows are both touching and humorous, featuring a program that showcases a cornucopia of beloved Italian opera arias, Neapolitan songs as well as jazz and pop standards made popular by such singers as Louis Prima, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Connie Francis and Andrea Bocelli. From humorous storytelling to innovative and unique arrangements, this trio breathes new life into songs made famous by such legendary singers as Enrico Caruso, Louis Prima, Frank Sinatra, Connie Francis, Frankie Valli, Dion, and Andrea Bocelli, combining virtuosic musical feats (like David playing the piano and the violin at the same time!) with an accessible and engaging program of well-known classics. With two stellar voices and commanding accompaniment, O Sole Trio’s show is fast-paced, funny and touching.

This dynamite trio has had sold-out performances in Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. Their next stop? The Huntington Summer Arts Festival! Please join us, as we welcome O Sole Trio to the Chapin Rainbow Stage on Saturday, July 16th @ 8:30pm in Heckscher Park, Huntington!
