Sherry Finzer Trio

Timeless Beauty from The Sherry Finzer Trio

Imagine a breath of ancient breeze stirring the fabled Aeolian strings, accompanied by the rhythms of distant thunder and gentle rain on your window pane, and you'll have an inkling of the subtle, sophisticated sounds of The Sherry Finzer Trio: timeless music as old as the earth and sky, yet as new as tomorrow's sunrise.

Featuring international award-winning multi-flutist and Heart Dance Records recording artist Sherry Finzer on concert C, alto and bass flutes; luthier and guitarist Darin Mahoney playing his self-built koa and cedar acoustic six-string; and seven-time GRAMMY Nominee Will Clipman on pan-global percussion, this genre-transcending trio blends the depth of classical discipline with the down-home soulfulness of American roots music and the percolating polyrhythms of worldbeat to create an entirely original sound that is at once soothing and energizing. Renowned Echoes Radio host John Diliberto has described Sherry's sound as "winged chamber music".

Having recently returned from a tour in Australia, Sherry brings a fresh international perspective to her first headlining appearance in Tucson, as befits the themes of Global Change Media, the parent organization behind Sea Of Glass--Center for the Arts. Sherry, Darin and Will are each inspired in different ways by the daily miracles to be found in nature and the inexhaustible creativity of human nature; so the trio's music also connects in a mutually complimentary way with GCM's themes of environmental sustainability and social responsibility, making this concert a perfect match between artist and venue.
