Sol3 Mio Makes Maui Debut

The Maui Arts & Cultural Center presents, in their Maui debut, a Samoan trio from New Zealand, Sol3 Mio in concert at the Castle Theater, on Sunday, Jan. 29, at 3 p.m.

The group consists of two tenors, brothers Pene Pati and Amitai Pati and their cousin Moses Mackay, a baritone, completing the group.

Their self-titled debut album, full of opera music mixed with traditional and popular songs, was the biggest selling album in New Zealand for 3 years running from its release in 2013. Their follow up album, On Another Note, was the biggest selling album of 2016. Pene Pati won overall second place in Placido Domingo’s Operalia, the world opera competition, and also garnered the Audience Choice award in 2015.

United by a love of opera and deep family bonds, the group has carved out a unique niche for themselves as Sol3 Mio, helped along the way by their vivacious good humor, and a refreshing slant on contemporary tunes and the classics.

Tickets are $35, $50, and $65 plus applicable fees. Available at the MACC Box Office at 242-SHOW or online at MauiArts.org.
