B’shnorkestra
Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 8pm
B’shnorkestra is a new large ensemble project featuring the work of composer Samantha Boshnack. Bold and undulating, there is a majestic grandness to Boshnack’s compositions. In B’shnorkestra, strings and percussion orchestrate the soaring melodic and tightly punctuated horn lines she’s celebrated for, taking this new work to a cinematically inspired place.
Comprised of 13 instrumentalists, the B’shnorkestra brings together musicians from many different Seattle music communities including: jazz (free, modern, straight-ahead), rock, avant-garde, salsa, pop, klezmer, Balkan, neo-soul/hip-hop, reggae, and classical. The music draws from and blends these genres into a language all its own, showcasing the wealth and variety of talents found in the B’shnorkestra players.

Featuring: Samantha Boshnack, Brianna Atwell, Lalo Bello, Jherek Bischoff, Greg Campbell, Tim Carey, Chris Credit, Alex Guy, Adam Kozie, Daniel Mullikin, Maria Scherer Wilson, Alina To and Tobi Stone.
