SUMMARY:The Westerlies
DESCRIPTION:
 This arty brass quartet of childhood friends from 
 Seattle mixes ideas from jazz, new classical, 
 and Appalachian folk. Based in New York, 
 the blend of two trumpets and two trombones 
 navigates an array of venues and projects with 
 the precision of a string quartet, the audacity 
 of a rock band, and the charm of a family 
 sing-along. Formed in 2011, the self-described 
 "accidental brass quartet" takes its name 
 from the prevailing winds that travel from the 
 West to the East.\n
 \n
 The Westerlies present 
 "Wherein Lies the Good," works from their latest 
 critically-acclaimed quartet album alongside 
 a reimagining of Caroline Shaw's landmark 
 string quartet Entr'acte. Imbued with the 
 spirit of improvisation and a folk-like approachability, 
 this concert presents The Westerlies 
 at their best, cutting new trails across 
 the vast expanse of the American musical landscape.\n
 \n
 Works 
 to include "Entr'acte" by Caroline 
 Shaw, adaptations of music by the Golden 
 Gate Quartet, music by Duke Ellington, and 
 original compositions by The Westerlies, among 
 other selections announced from the stage.\n\n
