THE PICKPOCKET ENSEMBLE: Café Music for Dreamers

Description

THE PICKPOCKET ENSEMBLE: Café Music for Dreamers

Friday, February 26

The pickPocket Ensemble makes music at the crossroads. Inspired by global folk and instrumental traditions—from Eastern Europe and the Balkans, from klezmer music to French musette, swing, and even contemporary classical—the pickPocket Ensemble creates haunting, invigorating tunes.



The music of the pickPocket ensemble has been called “soul-wrenching” for its evocative and passionate expressiveness. For its ability to communicate across cultures, they have been called “una banda del pueblo para el pueblo” (Javier Moreno-Pollarolo, San Francisco Tribune).


For this show, the pickPocket Ensemble is presenting music from their recently recorded project Memory, as well as a special set of desert-inspired melodies to move body and soul.



Alisa Rose: violin

Rick Corrigan: accordion and composition

Tim Fox: guitar

Greg Kehret: double bass

Michaelle Goerlitz: percussion

“Their combined talents generate vivid imagery and infectious tunes that will instantly transport you to Europe’s sidewalk cafés. This group specializes in playful, timeless arrangements that blend the grace and sophistication of the chamber with the colors of the street.”

—World Pulse



“A sublime and nuanced, hip acoustic band!”

—West Coast Live Radio
