Friday, Oct. 7, 2015 in Rice Auditorium, Smith Fine Arts will welcome award-winning quintet 3 Leg Torso to Western.<\/p>\n
The Smith Fine Arts Series is all about bringing the best in performing arts to the Western\u2019s campus, and 3 Leg Torso looks like they will uphold that mission admirably.<\/p>\n
Originally formed in 1996 as a violin, accordion, and cello three-piece, 3 Leg Torso has since expanded to five members, and their unique brand of modern chamber music is sure to delight anybody who enjoys music from supremely talented performers.<\/p>\n
I have listened to the band\u2019s 2010 release \u201cAnimals and Cannibals\u201d (Meester Records) several times since learning of the group, and I absolutely love the cinematic, gypsy aesthetic.<\/p>\n
The opening track, \u201cAkiko Yano\u201d, feels like setting off on an adventure through the European countryside. Several songs on the record have a tango influence to them, and you can\u2019t help but imagine the band off in the corner of some small pub, playing their hearts out as the patrons dance around.<\/p>\n
Despite being an instrumental act, each song tells a little story, along with the music. And really, who doesn\u2019t want to know the tale implied by \u201cThe Life and Times and Good Deeds of St. Penguin\u201d?<\/p>\n
3 Leg Torso plays Friday, Oct. 7, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. in Rice Auditorium, and tickets are free for students. It certainly looks like it\u2019s going to be a great time, and for the low, low price of free? Check out 3 Leg Torso. You\u2019ll be happy you did.<\/p>\n
For more information on tickets or the performance, please contact 503-838-8333 or visit The Cottage at 342 Monmouth Ave. North.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
