The Kallisto Trio Wows Oliver
Review by Sue Morhun
Three women in perfect and effortless harmony, all with glorious voices, all capable of covering a diverse repertoire and all equally capable of sharing undeniable musical abilities in a way that keeps an entire audience in their thrall. That was the gift the extraordinarily talented a cappella group, The Kallisto Trio, gave South Okanagan Concert Society goers last week. It was [an] evening [to] not have been missed!
From the first intriguing moment at the start when the light tinkle of a temple bell filled a darkened candlelight room until the last notes of “Auld Lang Syne” faded away at the end, the audience was in awe. It was a very special evening. Not surprisingly, words fail to do justice. It was all about hearing and an evening filled with glorious sounds. The artistry, the presentation, the music choices, the Trio’s own obvious enjoyment with the music and each other filled the room. It often left us in awe. Many times as the last clear notes of a piece faded away, the audience was utterly silent before the room filled with audible sighs and then enthusiastic applause. Comments like “amazing and joyous voices”, “they were born to sing”,“what a treat!”, “they sparkle,” filled the room at the Oliver Alliance Church both at intermission and when the evening closed. No one wanted it to end.

Three beautiful women have joined their voices and spirits to create KALLISTO - an incomparable a cappella trio experience for listeners everywhere. Meshing the quirky approach of Bobby McFerrin with the stylish jazz harmonies of Manhattan Transfer into classical, Canadiana, folk and even rock 'n roll, gives KALLISTO a warm and inviting sound ... with an edge. Described by audiences as 'remarkable' and 'angelic, KALLISTO draws inspiration from every ear of music history. The trio brings music from the Renaissance, Baroque and Romantic periods to life and then shifts effortlessly to jazz standards, pop hits, world music and gospel.
Fabiana Katz, Karen Mang and Catherine Laub, all highly regarded professional and musicians in their own right, are making waves with their artistry. They combine their knowledge, talent and skills to give their performances a depth and breadth witnessed in few ensembles. On stage their personalities play off one another perfectly - captivating and entertaining - while their flawlessly-tuned voices seem to effortlessly blend into one.
The trio spice up their performances with a variety of instruments, which they play with equal flair - guitar, accordion, electric bass, clarinet, recorders, djembe, claves, drums, shakers, tambourines, and a host of other percussion instruments.
The threesome also shares a common passion for creativity and showmanship. KALLISTO's shows raise the bar: every nuance of language, vocal colour and style seamlessly in place, every change in character brilliantly conveyed - KALLISTO--most beautiful!
