About
The trio Consists of New England Conservatory Graduates and students: tenor, Austin Burns, pianist, Stephanie Mao, and guitarist Jonas Kublickas. The name Sole Durato means "Setting Sun" in Italian, the name brings to mind Neapolitan Songs, in which the group specializes and is an allusion to one of the most famous Neapolitan songs, "O Sole Mio" by Eduardo di Capua.
