The Clatskanie Arts Commission is pleased to present
3 Leg Torso
Sunday, February 18, at 3 p.m.
Birkenfeld Theatre, 75 S. Nehalem in Clatskanie
3 Leg Torso formed in 1996 as a violin, cello and accordion trio with the mission of creating original modern chamber music for their unique instrumentation. Over the following years, the ensemble has expanded both its musical mission and its size to become a quintet that now performs original compositions based on an eclectic synthesis of chamber music, tango, klezmer, Latin and gypsy music.
As principal composers, founding members Bela R. Balogh (violin and trumpet) and Courtney Von Drehle (accordion) provide the core of 3 Leg Torso’s sound. They are joined by the consummate mallet/percussion of T.J. Arco and the gentleman of the acoustic bass Mike Murphy.
Although the ensemble’s history began with street music, they have expanded to perform with symphony orchestras and have been profiled on NPR’s All Things Considered. They have also worked with film makers and had their pieces used in various movies and television series.
