The pickPocket ensemble: Contemporary Chamber Music Blending Musical Traditions From Around the Globe
July 31, 2015 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$10 – $15
Engaging, while also charming and melodic, the pickPocket ensemble creates contemporary chamber café music that moves both body and soul. Inspired by a myriad of varying musical traditions from around the globe, the pickPocket ensemble inhabits a country all their own. The ensemble’s original, fresh sound fabricates an intimate and calming atmosphere that allows listeners to travel the world without leaving their seats. The group’s newest CD, Memory, has already been recognized, with two pieces being ranked among the top 5 winners in the Indie International Songwriting Awards.
Featuring:
Rick Corrigan – accordion and composition
Yates Brown – guitar and banjo
Chloe Allen – violin
John Slattery – percussion
Colin Williams – double bass
“The pickPocket Ensemble incorporate violin, accordion, trumpet, guitar and banjo compositions, scored to complex, yet toe-tappingly vibrant time signatures that allow listeners to meander through European cities, become caught up in the winds above the Atlas Mountains and trace steps back to the strangely familiar lands of a foreign cinema soundtrack.” – Maverick Magazine
