The Rhythm Sisters quartet was created to perform for kids, to instill a love of music in young children and inspire them to try playing an instrument, write a song, or go to live concerts. They do this through lively, fun, interactive, playful, soulful, rhythmic, informative, heartwarming and expressive chamber music performances. They are LIVELY and engaging, fun, down-to-earth and approachable and LOVE what they do – which comes through in their performances.

The VNote Ensemble

This Venezuelan jazz and world music quartet is hailed for its spirited performances and fascinating fusion of Latin and folk rhythms with adventurous jazz explorations. Exquisite arrangements, unique compositions, colors and rhythms blend together to deliver a unique musical profile.

The VNote Ensemble defiantly ignores musical boundaries to create a new direction that journeys the infectious rhythms of joropo and swing, gaita and soul and be-bop and calypso among many others.

VNote Ensemble (formerly The Snake Trio) gives a voice to the hidden treasure of Venezuelan music. The band, formed in 1997, is committed to raising that voice and discovering the connection between North American jazz, traditional Venezuelan songs and original musical ideas.

The VNote Ensemble is Sam Bevan, Donna Viscuso, Jackeline Rago, and Lali, Mejia.
