    This is a groupmuse

    A live concert in a living room, backyard, or another intimate space. They're casual and friendly, hosted by community members.

    Host

    Thomas B.

    Pianist Arno Kristensen and Guitarist Thomas Blumberg will be presenting this Groupmuse performance as a part of a 2 week long tour of Northern, Central, and Southern California. 100% of collected donation will go towards fire relief for educators that lost their home in the Eaton fire.

    The music being shared uses a lifetime of classical and jazz study as the foundation to explore folk melodies from each artist's ethno-cultural background.

    What's the music?

    Thomas Blumberg

    This duo meets multiple times a week to workshop material, the program is constantly evolving

    Perdrille - Arno Kristensen (Traditional French folk melody, Contemporary jazz)

    Yaman Yar - Arno Kristensen (Traditional Armenian folk melody, Contemporary jazz)

    Zichrono Livrakha - Thomas Blumberg (Traditional Yiddish folk melody, Contemporary jazz, Hymn)

    House On A Hill - Thomas Blumberg (Contemporary jazz, World Music)

    Les Ancêtres - Arno Kristensen (Contemporary Jazz, World Music)

    Where does this music come from?

    The music we play explores our ethno-cultural roots and what it means to learn beyond your natural born musical tradition. Both Arno and Thomas have received a world class education in playing both jazz and classical music. This serves as the foundation as they revisit folk melodies that have been passed down from musician-to-musician for generations.
