On Tuesday, March 19, in conjunction with the Coronado Historical Association’s current museum exhibit honoring the Kingston Trio, COSA students will conclude their concert with a “grand finale” of four popular Kingston Trio numbers. The students have been working with Artist-in-Residence Joey Harris, nephew of Trio member Nick Reynolds, and COSA’s Instrumental Music Director Matt Heinecke.
The Kingston Trio is credited with creating a pop-folk musical movement that would reverberate for generations to come. They started out playing calypso music, which is why the group was named the Kingston Trio (for Kingston, Jamaica), but quickly expanded their repertoire. Within a year of being “discovered” at the Purple Onion in San Francisco, these talented college performers had produced the number one song on the pop charts—“Tom Dooley”—which became the record of the year in 1958.
Tickets are $5 for Adults, $3 for CUSD Students/Staff and can be purchase at the door 30 minutes before the show or online at http://cosasandiego.com/calendar/event/instrumental-music-recital.
