We are so pleased to report that we have now reached the 40% mark in raising funds for our projects! Thank you so much for your support.

The second concert in our Musical Mélange series took place on Oct 26, featuring the soulful sounds of Heather Ferguson and her amazing band. We saw a larger audience this time, so hopefully this is setting the trend.

Our Cd has been “mastered”, and we have a prototype. Next steps are finalizing the design of our CD liner notes for the booklet, then getting that printed and getting the CD pressed, which will be done by Microforum in Toronto.

We are working with Redshift Records (based in North Vancouver) and Nick Gorring of Riparian Media, (based in Toronto). We’ve set our release date for Friday Feb 20, 2026! We are very excited!

“In 2007 Redshift Records was established, and for the past decade has been producing some of the most significant recordings of contemporary music in the country.” Wholenote Magazine (Toronto, ON)
“One of the finest sources of contemporary classical music” Bandcamp Daily
The performances and compositions included on the label are of such a high calibre that Redshift Records albums have consistently been nominated for Western Canadian Music Awards and JUNO Awards

We will continue to keep you posted along our journey.

With much gratitude for your support,
Diane, Kathryn and Lisa

We started our GoFundMe campaign just a few weeks ago, and thanks to YOU, we have reached almost 40% of our financial goal! We are so grateful for your support.

We are at a fun stage of our CD making stage. Our graphic designer is going through the beautiful photos taken by Remi Odense illustrating the pieces reflecting places on Vancouver Island, and starting to lay out all the copy describing the pieces for the cd liner notes.

We presented the first concert of the Musical Melange series at Central Saanich United Church last weekend to a very enthusiastic audience. We are looking to expand the audience as the series builds momentum. The posters with the eye-catching colours and design will hopefully bring people in, as well!

We will send more updates as we progress through our journey.

Thank you again for your support!

Augmented Trio Promotions (ATP) is on a mission, and we need your support to make it happen. We dream of having our upcoming CD entitled Water, Rock, Tree, Sky nominated for a Juno award in 2026, while also launching an exciting concert series in Greater Victoria. Our team has already invested more than $1,000 into these projects, but we’re seeking additional funding to reach our goals.

The Vancouver Island Suite and its companion pieces, inspired by our beautiful surroundings, and written by our own Diane Berry for Aerie Trio, are almost ready for release. We’ve recorded the music with great enthusiasm, and now we need funds to cover mixing, design, distribution, and a CD launch event. Your contribution will help us cover Muisical Melange concert series expenses too. Please review our GoFundMe page for details of what we are aiming to do. Check our website for more details on upcoming shows!

Thank you for considering to support our vision! We would be so appreciative of you sharing this request to others whom you think would be supportive.
