Chicago-based brass trio V3NTO brings bold energy, inventive programming, and vibrant engagement to this free community engagement performance. Known for reimagining overlooked repertoire and championing new works, the ensemble delivers an accessible, high-impact musical experience designed to connect artists and audiences.
V3NTO’s engagement concerts reflect the Green Lake Festival of Music’s 2026 theme of musical connections. As departing Artistic & Executive Director Sam Handley notes, “Frequent performers in Green Lake Festival of Music’s engagement concerts, the ensemble maintains strong educational connections to the region.” Those ties are personal as well as artistic: trombonist Catie Hickey previously worked alongside festival colleagues at DePaul University, and trumpeter Jessica Jensen shares family connections within the Green Lake Festival of Music community.
Hornist Anna Jacobson, a versatile orchestral and chamber musician trained at Lawrence University and DePaul University, performs widely throughout the Midwest while maintaining an active teaching career. Trumpeter Jessica Jensen, a Lawrence, and UW–Madison graduate, combines chamber performance with dedicated studio instruction. Trombonist Catie Hickey brings an international performing résumé and deep commitment to education and outreach. Together, they create dynamic programs that blend artistry, education, and community connection — all in a lively concert experience offered free to the public.
