David Alderdice (drummer, percussionist, educator, arranger, and practitioner of the healing rhythmic arts) has put together a fun, eclectic world music ensemble featuring violin, reeds, double bass, and drums. This project combines improvisation with original arrangements; the sound is energetic, groovy and diverse in its range. David will be joined by his fellow Feast alumni’s Dr. Marcin Ardent (solo violinist, chamber musician, teacher, and arranger), and Benjamin de Kock (double bassist, freelance musician, and symphonist), as well as April Johannesen (multi-reeds instrumentalist, teacher, and performer). They will be joined by a few special guests adding sounds of the trombone, tenor banjo, and more.
