Kalliope was originally the name of a Greek Goddess, and translated the word means “beautiful sound”. The Kalliope Ensemble is dedicated to creating beautiful music with a unique touch. We began in 2015 as a colorful combination of piano, oboe, and bassoon, and performed at a variety of events all over Boston. Since then have moved to a seasonal summer Reed Quintet, and occasionally feature reed trios and duos as well. We hope you will find time to enjoy our dynamic combination of instruments.

Found Objects: On the Beach for oboe, clarinet, and bassoon tells of finding objects on the beach – from tumbled stones to sea glass; from driftwood to black feathers on the sand and the seashells that populate the beach as far as the eye can see. This is a six-movement work lasting approximately 23 minutes.  Found Objects premiered by the PEN Trio (Nora Lewis-oboe, Phillip Paglialonga-clarinet, and the late Eric Van der Veer Varner-bassoon), this work is published by TrevCo Music Publishing on the new PEN Trio Collection Series!
