The Phoenix Ensemble is proud to announce another in its annual series of
concerts featuring the music of nuevo tango composer Astor Piazzolla. The
Oblivion Project is named for one of Piazzolla’s signature pieces.
The Oblivion Project is The Phoenix Ensemble's most popular concert series
ever. This year, the Oblivion Project features bandoneonist Julien Labro and
Gabriel Bolkosky (violin), Derek Snyder (cello), Tad Weed (piano), John
Holkeboer (bass), and Alex Trajano (percussion).
The Phoenix Ensemble has been called “a tight band of musical adventurers”
and their Oblivion Project described as “a broad palette of moods and styles:
straight-to-Hell tangos of tremendous hypnotic force, floating jazz-fusion-like
space walks, and even tender major-key romance.” (Lawrence Cosentino in
the Lansing City Pulse, Sept. 21, 2005.) Phoenix Ensemble cellist Derek
Snyder describes it more succinctly, as music with “all the feelings you can
find.”
