The Imbroglio Sextet
On Sunday, July 30 at 6:30 PM
The Community Life Center will be hosting a non-profit classical ensemble known as The Imbroglio Sextet on Sunday, July 30 at 6:30 pm, and you are especially invited. We are welcoming the Puget Sound art community to join us for this concert in support of Haitian musicians. This is our chance to have an evening where we “class it up a bit.” Sponsors have fully funded their concert, so there is no cost to attend. However, any donations will help teach, train, and provide for classical musicians in Haiti.
The Story
The Imbroglio Sextet consists of professional classical musicians who met while volunteering as teachers in Haiti in 2013. Despite differences of language and nationality, they realized they enjoyed each other’s company and making music together. They decided to form a group to play, record, and tour together.
The Instrumentation
The Imbroglio Sextet combines a string quartet with trumpet and clarinet to produce a sound reflective of its members’ classical training and multi-national origins.
