Bohemian Trio

Spoleto Festival (Charleston)
May 28 – 31
Tickets: https://spoletousa.org/events/bohemian-trio/

Drawn to the idea that a blend of traditions would speak to the true voice of the Americas, Yosvany Terry (saxophone and chékere), Orlando Alonso (piano), and Yves Dharamraj (cello) pooled their cultural and musical backgrounds to form the Bohemian Trio in 2013. Together, they forge a new identity—a polyphony of cultures—that transcends old-world boundaries. Bohemian Trio intertwines earthy, Afro-Cuban rhythms with sweeping classical melodies, jazz improvisation, and the celebration of Latin dance to transport its audiences to an inspired and fantastical place, though one longing for a bygone era at odds with the modern world. Grounded in both distinct formal traditions and abstract ideas, each member exhibits his own brand of technical prowess and invention, creating an extension of the familiar. Their musical narratives—deftly woven into original and commissioned works—simultaneously evoke joy, nostalgia, and passion.

Bohemian Trio returns to the Jazz Gallery on Thursday, May 19th to perform two sets at 7:30pm and 9:30pm. Showcasing their signature sound, an original blend of Classical lyricism, Jazz harmony, Latin dance, and Afro-Cuban beats, their repertoire reflects the group’s diverse cultural and musical backgrounds. Comprised of Yosvany Terry (sax and chékere), Yves Dharamraj (cello) and Orlando Alonso (piano), the trio will premiere works specially written for the ensemble by Pedro Giraudo, Emilio Solla, Sonia Jacobsen, Alexis Cuadrado, Ramon Polo, and Cristina Spinei. A surprise guest will join the group.

This weekend, the adventurous, romantic and inspiring artists of the Bohemian Trio (saxophone & chekeré, cello, piano) return to Armor Hall with their signature spicy mix of traditional and new jazz works, infused with Afro-Cuban rhythms and flair. The performance lasts approximately one hour.
