Beautiful Dreamer

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 together in the best room of the home – the parlor -to enjoy listening and playing. These included folk songs and dances from ancestral homelands, American folk songs, and hymns and spirituals.

Beautiful Dreamer Trio members are:
• Tia Jaynes, 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 all active freelance musicians performing throughout the Wasatch front (and back), including Cache Valley, maintain private teaching studios, and are also involved in higher education.
