Cosa Nostra Strings meet The Pipes

This first-time team up between two unclassifiable ensembles, both with truly unique instrumentations and approaches, Cosa Nostra Strings and The Pipes, should prove to be an inspired evening of deep fun for all involved!


THE PIPES

Darren Johnston - trumpet/vocals
Cory Wright - bass clarinet/Bb clarinet
Steven Lugerner - bass clarinet
Jordan Glenn - drums/percussion

Pieces begin with a focus on storytelling and poetry that blossom into toe-tapping horn honkery, expansive explorations, and tight ensemble playing, touching on a universe of styles and traditions along the way, but sounding quite unlike anything else.


COSA NOSTRA STRINGS

Shaina Evoniuk - violin
Keith Lawrence - viola
Lewis Patzner - cello
Adam Theis - trombone/electric bass
Aaron Kierbal - drums

A branch of the illustrious Jazz Mafia, COSA NOSTRA STRINGS, specializes in original Hybrid Crossover music. Ranging from acoustic heavy metal to power ballads and everything in between, they utilize their unique instrumentation of cello, viola, violin, trombone, bass, and percussion to the fullest extent.


Doors open at 7pm, 1st set at 7:30pm
