TABOR and a Film

Well, it's 2009 and the Tabor 5 have hit the ground running. Yes, we're running right to the Cornelia Street Cafe on January 26 at 8pm to play a crazy piece by composer Meg Schedel. What's even better than seeing the five beautiful members of Tabor on a concert stage? Seeing the five beautiful members of Tabor AND a crazy cool video at the same time!!! Yes, folks, we're doing the old-school idea of accompanying a silent film in a totally new-school improv sort of way. Sure to be a blast!!!


"Nine musicians will join composer/cellist/computer musician Margaret Schedel on stage for an exploration of at least two aspects of her ferociously interactive work. TABOR will perform multi-media work Azharah , a composition for woodwinds and film. "

TABOR has just blogged.....but we are OK now.

Here it is taborites, dearly beloved friends, and fans......our very own blog!

This is where we will keep you updated about all the news and happenings in the world of TABOR. Goody. To start with, we will proceed to dive into another realm never before explored by the likes of WW5's. Sick of Neilsen, Ligeti, Francaix? .....yep us too. Just you wait to see some of our next projects.

Giddy? Salivating? Even a little dribble? OK. So Quintet rarely has that effect on most, and perhaps has not been the coolest of the ensembles but TABOR plans to do the best they can to alter the face of this combo. How will we do this? Well.....how should we know exactly? We are keeping our little eyes and hearts open.....

Little hints of the future for you:
This January we will be working with composer/cellist Meg Schedel and performing her work for quintet and film. (Check out our next blog or details.)
TABOR is also now in the beginning stages of an exciting collaboration with composer Mikael Karlsson and engineer/robot builder Christopher Macdonald. Let's just say it involves lasers and a little box! Stay tuned.
