3 Leg Torso w/Beaverton Symphony, Beaverton, OR, 17 Jan 2014

3 Leg Torso and Beaverton Symphony

Friday, January 17th, 7:30 PM
Village Baptist Church
330 S.W. Murray Blvd,
Beaverton, OR

Tickets: Adult/$10.00 Seniors & Students/$5.00 Family / $20
Online: bso3legtorso.brownpapertickets.com

3 Leg Torso and the Beaverton Symphony Orchestra, led by Maestro Travis Hatton combine forces for an evening of Hungarian and Eastern European themed music.

The Beaverton Symphony will open with:
Brahms Hungarian Dance #6,
Bartók, Hungarian Sketches
Kachaturian, Masquerade Suite

The members of 3 Leg Torso reunite with Maestro Travis Hatton to perform original and traditional pieces arranged for full symphony orchestra. The ensemble worked with Mr. Hatton in 2008 while the conductor was working with the musicians of the Metropolitan Youth Symphony.

"We really enjoyed collaborating with Maestro Hatton and the MYS", says accordionist and co-leader/founder of 3LT, Courtney Von Drehle. "Travis's acute attention to detail makes for a spirited marriage of the World Music that 3 Leg Torso is known for with the orchestral lushness and depth of sonic possibilities offered by a full symphonic orchestra."

To further expand the quintet's history of performing and collaborating with large symphonic ensembles, Béla R. Balogh, violinist and co-leader of 3LT, had been searching for conductors and orchestras in the region to collaborate with and reuniting with Maestro Hatton was a great idea and welcomed opportunity.
Says Balogh: "Travis was a natural fit for 3 Leg Torso. We had successfully worked with him in the past, and his understanding of the music was elemental in creating a show that was thrilling for both performers and listeners"

Pieces to be performed WITH the BSO and 3LT

Astor in Paris ………………………………………………. 3LT
Baym Rebyn in Palestina……………………………………Traditional
Counterpoint…………………………………………………. 3LT
Frog….. Secret Agent………………………………………. 3LT
The Life and Times and Good Deeds of St. Penguin…… 3LT

‘Les Ânes rient de Marie’ : Ce nom, il faut le dire d’une traite, comme un train qui passe, un son qui fuse...

Orchestre de rue ou fanfare de chambre, ‘Les Ânes rient de Marie’ est un groupe flamboyant qui allie fête et mouvement. Il rassemble sept musiciens partageant la même envie d’une musique fraternelle, originale et qui réchauffe le cœur et l’esprit : klezmer d’abord, mais aussi à la manière de l’Est et d’ailleurs... un folklore venu d’un endroit imaginaire où on se sent chez soi et diablement vivant !

Yiddish Vocal Workshop

Sat, Jan 26, 2014, 2–4pm
Jalopy Theatre and School of Music
315 Columbia St
Brooklyn, NY

This workshop will feature traditional songs and vocal techniques for authentic Yiddish singing. The workshop repertoire will include rare nineteenth century ballads and lyrical songs featuring the most beautiful of melodies and poignant of stories, taught in detail from original field recordings of master Old World singers.

The class will also focus on vocal techniques and ornamentation appropriate to the singing of traditional Yiddish song. Students will learn how to produce the delicate yet focused sound of traditional Yiddish singers, and will learn how to hear and reproduce the melismatic embellishments traditionally used to enhance the singing of this beautiful repertoire. Students will also learn how to sing with increased comfort, clarity, and control, and will learn how to sculpt vocal lines to effect maximum emotional expression.

A knowledge of spoken Yiddish is not necessary to take this workshop, and the program is open to singers of all levels.

Taught by Acclaimed Vocalist, Researcher, Instructor
Carol Freeman

Admission $30
