A quintet that performs original chamber and gypsy music is set to play in Clatskanie this weekend.
The group 3 Leg Torso is scheduled to perform at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Birkenfeld Theatre, 75 S. Nehalem in Clatskanie.
The group has performed with symphony orchestras and has been profiled on NPR’s “All Things Considered,” event organizers say in a press release.
The group formed in 1996 as a violin, cello and accordion trio with the mission of creating original modern chamber music.
Now, the ensemble has expanded to a quintet performing original compositions based on chamber music, tango, klezmer, Latin and gypsy music.Founding members Bela R. Balogh on violin and trumpet and Courtney Von Drehle on accordion provide the core of 3 Leg Torso’s sound. They are joined by the mallet/percussion of T.J. Arco and the acoustic bass of Mike Murphy.
