Augmented Trio Promotions (ATP) is on a mission, and we need your support to make it happen. We dream of having our upcoming CD entitled Water, Rock, Tree, Sky nominated for a Juno award in 2026, while also launching an exciting concert series in Greater Victoria. Our team has already invested more than $1,000 into these projects, but we’re seeking additional funding to reach our goals.

The Vancouver Island Suite and its companion pieces, inspired by our beautiful surroundings, and written by our own Diane Berry for Aerie Trio, are almost ready for release. We’ve recorded the music with great enthusiasm, and now we need funds to cover mixing, design, distribution, and a CD launch event. Your contribution will help us cover Muisical Melange concert series expenses too. Please review our GoFundMe page for details of what we are aiming to do. Check our website for more details on upcoming shows!

Thank you for considering to support our vision! We would be so appreciative of you sharing this request to others whom you think would be supportive.

Beth Goh, who attended the last "The Art of Harmonizing Music and Food" event at the House of Boateng, enjoyed the experience she wrote us:

"The marriage of music and food comes together perfectly with Aerie Trio and House of Boateng’s joint venture to present “Harmonizing Music & Food ~ Celebrating our Island’s Hidden Gems”. The whole evening was such a delight from the beautiful sounds of flute, piano & cello (and a surprise appearance from a rainstick) playing; to the artful presentation of food to match each piece of music; and then tasting the food. Our senses of hearing, sight, smell & taste were all stimulated! An extra bonus was having the composer not only play in the trio but talk about each piece before playing so we could picture a scene as the music unfolded. And the chef introduced each dish before eating. My expectations for this event were more than met!
Bravo Composer Diane Berry & Chef Castro Boateng on bringing this idea to life! "

Tickets are available through the link. We hope you won't want to miss this!
