SUMMARY:2026 Music Concert Series at Salem State University
DESCRIPTION:Explorers Lifelong Learning Institute at the Center for Creative and Performing Arts \nPre-concert lecture with Peter Sheckman begins at 2:30pm \nApril 19th: Trio Oko\nCharles Overton\nEmma Powell\nMina kim \nConcerts are free\, but space is limited.  Please register at right. (Limit of 2 tickets per person.) \n  \nAbout Trio Oko:\nPraised for their “profound communication\,” and “thoughtful choices of timbre\, articulation\, dynamic contrast\, and balance\,” Trio Oko is a harp trio based in Boston consisting of violinist Emma Powell\, cellist Mina Kim\, and harpist Charles Overton. The three musicians met at Tanglewood Music Center in 2016 and united with a mutual belief in the power of music to create meaningful human connections to form Trio Oko. The ensemble aims to expand the harp trio repertoire by commissioning new works and arrangements. They intend to showcase the diverse capabilities inherent to this distinctive instrumentation. \nTrio Oko shared the Japanese dish okonomiyaki (cooked by the master chef\, Emma!) in their first rehearsal along with giggles (hence\, Oko—) and happily committed to bringing joy to concert halls through their collaborations and friendship. \n  \n       \n
