High Noon: Love Struck Luety Chord

The tale of how a singer from Canada fell in love with a trombonist from Montana reads like a storyline from a movie musical. Treena Luety grew up in Toronto and has always loved to sing. “I sang into my hairbrush for my mom and dad,” she said, laughing. “I’d sing myself to sleep every night.” Ben Luety was raised in Missoula by a trombone-playing father. “I started playing in elementary school,” he recalled. The couple met in Austria in 2003, when both were performing at the World Choral Festival in Salzburg. Treena was singing with the Toronto Symphony Choir and Ben was playing with the Montana Trombone Chorale, a group formed by his dad/Cindy Hval, Washington Voices. More here.
