Béla Fleck, Edmar Castañeda & Antonio Sanchez (L to R) perform at the Lebanon Opera House on 12 May 2025. They have dubbed themselves "Beat" which takes the first letters of their names plus "trio" at the end.

A fantastic show. One can see how much they enjoy playing with one another. Antonio thanked us all for coming out to see "the weirdest jazz band ever." Made up of banjo, drums, and harp, one would immediately agree with him! These 3 crafted some gorgeous sounds together.

If, like me, you are unfamiliar with Antonio and/or Edmar, be good to yourself and seek them out. I have never seen a harp played that way, and I am still in shock.

The last photo is the outside of the Lebanon Opera House. Surprisingly this was my first time seeing a performance here, but it won’t be the last. Great sound … and very comfy seats.
