MUSIC IS IN THE HEATH SISTERS' BLOOD - The Hamden Journal
Their father was a legendary director of The Yale Glee Club, and their mother was a violinist and longtime Kodaly music teacher in the New Haven Public Schools.
"We were like the Trapp family," says Sarah Heath, referring to the musical family made famous in "The Sound of Music."
The sisters have sung the national anthem a cappella at Boston's Fenway Park for two years in a row. "It was a thrill to stand at home plate and sing to 32,000 people," Heath said. "The roar is deafening."
Their shows combine their own original music with jazz and classical pieces, plus traditional music from a variety of sources. The goal is to give the audience a unique performance. "We really try to connect with the audience in a way that is not superficial," Heath said.
She feels a special bond with her sisters. "We've always been a trio," she said. "We enhance each other's sound. There's almost a psychic connection on how to blend our voices, which comes from a lifetime of playing together. Music is in our blood."
