Global Concertos

Composer Samantha Boshnack and her B'shnorkestra (a 14-piece alternative chamber orchestra) premiere Global Concertos: an evening of new music featuring an international tour de force of soloists.

Boshnack has written five new works, each showcasing a guest soloist's instrument and tradition: Thione Diop West African talking drum, Christos Govetas Greek clarinet, Srivani Jade North Indian vocals, Julio Jauregui Latin American piano and Thomas Marriott American jazz trumpet. In Global Concertos each artist brings their individual voice to the B'shnorkestra to create a new "all world" sound.
Global Concertos was made possible, in part by funding from New Music USA, 4Culture and Seattle Office of Arts and Culture.

Joshua Kohl - conductor
Samantha Boshnack- trumpet/composition
Chris Credit and Tobi Stone - woodwinds
Alex Guy, Paris Hurley - violins
Brianna Atwell - viola
Maria Scherer Wilson and Daniel Mullikin - cellos
Carmen Rothwell and Tim Carey - bass
Greg Campbell - drums/percussion/french horn
Adam Kozie - drums
Lalo Bello - congas

B'shnorkestra will also perform three additional compositions written by Boshnack.
