Small Stages: Beautiful Dreamer Trio

Part of our free Small Stage Series! Located upstairs at Abbington Senior Living of Layton (350 S 100 W, Layton, UT 84041).

Beautiful Dreamer Trio plays wonderfully delightful music of yesteryear: popular American parlor music. Inspired by the legacy of Stephen Foster, the “Father of American Music,” and taking their name from one of his last compositions, Beautiful Dreamer performs a wide variety of selections that family and friends would gather to enjoy in the best room of the home—the parlor. The program includes folk songs and dances from ancestral homelands, American folk songs, hymns and spirituals, music from the vaudeville and theater stage, the concert hall and the ballroom, patriotic tunes and marches, and seasonal favorites.

Beautiful Dreamer Trio members:
- Tia Jaynes, flute, alto flute and piccolo, Draper, Utah
- Karen Hastings, oboe and English horn, South Jordan, Utah
- Cheryl Ann Blackley, bassoon, Woods Cross, Utah

These three ladies are active freelance musicians performing throughout the Wasatch Front and Back, including Cache Valley. They maintain private teaching studios and are also involved in higher education.
