heroes, interlopers (Chicago, IL) + Tontine Ensemble

heroes, interlopers (Chicago, IL) + Tontine Ensemble Thursday, November 5th @ 7:00pm At the Jazz Gallery Center for the Arts - 926 East Center Street Kelly Quesada, Dan Galat, Ben Willis, and Scott Rubin met through the improvised music scene in Chicago, and in particular, Josh Harlow’s monthly music series at Tangible Books in Bridgeport. Hearing each other’s sounds, and being united in the peculiarity of their instrumentation and approach to improvised music, they decided to record an album together under the name heroes, interlopers. Tontine Ensemble was founded in the spring of 2014 with the mission to perform improvisational and contemporary chamber works, as well as champion new music from composers in their community. Its four current members first played together for a Blank Radio (Milwaukee, WI) recording session and immediately began rehearsing regularly. Allen Russell, Molly Lieberman, Pat Reinholz, and Barry Paul Clark are all classically trained musicians who teach and regularly perform in a variety of styles around the Milwaukee area and beyond.
