Classical Tuesdays showcased Torch live on Zoom October 13

Thanks to everyone who joined us for a fascinating and unusual multi-media event on Zoom on October 13.  Each season, Classical Tuesdays features a “new music” event by Northwest musicians.  This month’s performance provided colorful sounds from Torch layered with story-telling and visuals in Scott Kolbo’s video “Passages: A Fable in Six Cycles”.

Thanks for joining us live (virtually) in October!  We’re working on the November 11 concert – more details to come soon.

So great to feature a live performance for our Classical Tuesdays' audience


Torch ensemble (www.torchthemusic.com/) and filmmaker Scott Kolbo (www.scottkolbo.net) joined Classical Tuesdays October 13 for a live Zoom performance and discussion. They've produced a provocative film accompanied by evocative music. Thanks Brian Chin, Eric Likkel, Steve Schermer, Ben Thomas, Scott Kolbo for a wonderful event! It was great to share a live performance with our audience again.



Coming to Old Town Virtually! October 13, 7:00pm

Classical Tuesdays in Old Town Tacoma is happy to announce that Torch ensemble is performing for us in a virtual discussion and demo followed by a performance of Passages: a Fable in 6 Cycles.

Torch members

TORCH, a Seattle-based contemporary group (Brian Chin, trumpet; Eric Likkel, clarinets; Steve Schermer, bass; Ben Thomas, vibes), performs original and experimental compositions, melding genres as disparate as contemporary classical composition, modern tango and jazz improvisation.

For our October 13th event, Torch collaborates with videographer Scott Kolbo in his multi-media "Passages" which tells an inspiring story of resilience and hope, with a heavy dose of slapstick humor and absurdity. Seattle composer Ken Benshoof describes a Torch performance as  “… cool rhythms, a nice mix of humor and mystery… always felt part of an adventure.”

Live performance on line Tuesday, October 13, 2020, at 7:00pm
