Led by multi-percussionist, vibraphonist and composer Brian O’Neill, the group also features bass flute/woodwinds (Geni Skendo), percussion(Shane Shanahan), oud/tanbur (Tev Stevig), and acousticbass (Brad Barrett). The quartet focuses on original music written by O'Neill (“a first-rate composer”–
Huffington Post) that is highly influenced by his fifteen-year career as a multipercussionist
in symphony orchestras, jazz groups, and world music
ensembles.
Alvas Showroom will be the final concert destination of this short tour.

“No other band on the planet sounds anything remotely like Mr. Ho’s
Orchestrotica,” says Lucid Culture.

Tickets will be $20.00 at the door.
