The District 99 Orchestra is sponsoring a joint concert with the PROJECT Trio on Tuesday, November 9th at 7:00 p.m. in the auditorium of Downers Grove South High School. PROJECT Trio is a passionate, high energy chamber music ensemble comprised of three virtuosic composers/performers from Brooklyn, NY. Blending their classical training with an eclectic taste in musical styles, PROJECT Trio has made an impact on audiences of all ages. Bursting onto the scene with their landmark videos, right out of the internet generation, PROJECT Trio is a musical experience defining a new level of entertainment! Many students have heard the PROJECT Trio because their YouTube videos have gone viral, with over 20 million views! Unique to this ensemble is the beat-box technique used by flautist, Greg Pattillo, who is considered to be the best beat-box flute player in the world. This is truly a concert not to be missed!

To watch some of their performances and to learn more about the trio, visit their website at www.whatisproject.org.
