Sunrise Trio is Adam Rudolph’s newest project bringing together key members of his decades-long Go: Organic Orchestra to create a new electro-acoustic world music ensemble.
The musicians’ experience and familiarity with Rudolph’s creative vision and concepts allows for a kind of focus and freedom in the shaping of the orchestral concept.
The alchemy between these artists makes for music that is unique, deeply rooted, and soulful.
