The Harborside Trio was formed in 2019.  Since 1998, Bill and Carl have collaborated on many programs in Boston.  Bill worked with Cherie even earlier, before her move to Maine.  Several years back, while on vacation in Mt. Desert, Bill was able to get back in touch with Cherie. When he and Carl moved to Mt. Desert, Cherie was once again able to work with Bill and The Harborside Trio was created.

Cherie Magnello performs a wide range of musical and theatrical repertoires and has collaborated on new theater pieces with a variety of writers/composers in addition to working with composer William Hawley of Bass Harbor.  She appears frequently with the New Surry Theatre and Meetinghouse Theatre Lab.

Carl Wrubel has sung with many organizations in the Boston area including Boston Lyric Opera and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus.  Some of his solo performances have been in Mozart’s Requiem, Handel’s Messiah, and Faure’s Requiem.  Most recently he was a cantor and soloist at St. Paul Church in Wellesley, Massachusetts.

William Merrill is a well known vocal coach and collaborative pianist. He performed for many years in the New England area, throughout the US with Columbia Concerts, as well as in Europe and China. He was music minister at Union Church in Waban, Massachusetts for 25 years.
