Torch
TORCH is a contemporary chamber music ensemble whose original compositions play with our heady intellects and our groove-craving souls.
Torch is a reference to Tomas Mann where he proclaimed the aesthetic mantra, “Art is the sacred torch that must shed its merciful light into all life's terrible depths."
In 2012, we asked, “Is it possible to create music that could exist as both intellectually rich and crafted with precision while maintaining a palpable groove without using a drummer?” TORCH was born to answer the question with series of self-composed, original programs of music. Rooted in contemporary classical composition, modern tango, and jazz improvisation, TORCH bridges gaps between genres, re-imagines works from master composers of the 20th century, and demonstrates an indie-band model of self-composition as a contemporary chamber music ensemble. TORCH is in residence and affiliated with Common Tone Arts, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization inspiring positive change for our diverse world through arts education and music. https://torchthemusic.com |
