Working without a blueprint, Piatigorsky leads a project emblematic of his musical vision. The Sketchy Orkestra is not just the trio and an 8-piece chamber string ensemble — it’s the battle and dance in between. Bringing out the string players from the orchestral pit into the spotlight, The Sketchy Orkestra naturally incites creativity in its special guests. Sophisticated and organic at its core, the show features charisma and talent of long-time Piatigorsky collaborators: the fiery trumpet of Tatum Greenblatt, the soulful songstress Emily Braden, Freddie Bryant with a rhythmic guitar, and Rahj — the subtle and temperamental lyricist encapsulating this unique performance with a touch of spoken word."
