Description
Uneven Waves: The Balkan Surf Sound Workshop
MSA will welcome Czarna Wolgastar to present an incredibly unique workshop that they call “Uneven Waves: The Balkan Surf Sound." With a low floor and high ceiling, the workshop will appeal to children over 10, as well as adults who have an interest in surf and musical fusion. During the workshop, Balkan music meets American jazz. Participants will go behind the rhythmic scenes with the alien and human members of Czarna Wolgastar to learn how they combine it all.
Join Czarna Wolgastar for their concert later in the evening
Artist Bio
Czarna Wolgastar is an intergalactic balkan surf jazz trio. Three non-corporeal Wolgastarian entities embody three members of Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica's Tev Stevig (gtr), Michael Harrist (bs), and Brian O'Neill (dr). Together, the trio – or sextet, depending on how you think of it – release a strange, other-worldly cocktail of Balkan beats and Milky-Way mischief crossed with the American songbook, Hollywood film soundtracks, and more.
Funded in part by the New England States Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program and the six New England state arts agencies.
