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: 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.
