TORCH (Brian Chin, trumpets, Eric Likkel, clarinets, Steve Schermer, bass, and Bonnie Whiting, percussion) is a multi-arts collective of artists dedicated to the creation and performance of new socially-conscious work. Embedded within the collective is a contemporary chamber music ensemble whose original compositions play with our heady intellects and our groove-craving souls. Rooted in contemporary classical, jazz, and improvised music, TORCH bridges the gaps between genres, re-imagines classic masterworks, and demonstrates an indie-band model of self-composition. This performance features original music by the collective as well as world premieres by local favorites Tom Baker, Sarah Bassingthwaighte, Kaley Lane Eaton, Garrett Fisher, and Aidan Gold.
