Photos ~ Loop 2.4.3 concert in Old Town

0 0

Who says Old Town's got nothing going on after 5pm on a Tuesday night? Well, at least on this particular evening, not me. After a sandwich dinner at The Spar, Sarah and I headed up to the Slavonian Hall in Old Town Tacoma to hear percussion ensemble Loop 2.4.3 play. They were brought here as a part of Classical Tuesdays in Old Town. Most of the concert were original pieces composed by the group ranging from Latin, native American, contemporary, and other styles. One piece that was truly amazing had all three group members sitting at a table using nothing but their hands in swooping, flicking, and tapping motions. Incredible stuff and I definitely recommend having a listen on their website and/or signing up as a friend over at their MySpace page.

Thanks to the folks at Spew for the post about this one and to the Tacoma Arts Commission and other local businesses for supporting this wonderful series. Two more concerts this year:

Nov. 14, 2006 - "Flute and Strings" with UPS Strings Faculty
Dec. 12, 2006 - Elizabeth Brown, PLU Faculty Lute and Guitar

Although an auditory event, it never hurts to see the music happening. Thus, I give you the following photos. Enjoy!
