Performance by Unheard Sounds
Featuring musicians: Joel Alarcon Sr./Violin, Fabio Dantas Costa, Viola/Guitar, Cesar Colmenares/Cello
Unheard Sounds is a mixture of all genres of music from Classical to pop played with a combination of violin, viola, and cello. Each musician brings their own cultural flavor to the performance. Imagine hearing music like ‘what a wonderful world’ played with the colors of the cello, or hearing ‘Smooth Criminal’ by Michael Jackson played on the sharp sound of the violin. Not only will you enjoy hearing your favorite music played in a unique way, you will also experience the sounds that come from mixing the violin, viola/guitar, and cello.
*All Coffee House proceeds beyond costs are donated to Meeting Ground, an organization serving the homeless in Cecil County, MD.
