CONCERTS IN THE PARK – DIFFERENT DRUMMER – CLASSICAL TRIO

Wednesday, August 9, 6:30pm (rain or shine)

Kruckeberg Botanic Garden

20312 15th Ave NW, Shoreline

The Arts Council’s Concerts in the Park continue with a free performance by Different Drummer at Kruckeberg Botanic Garden on Wednesday, August 9, 6:30pm.

Different Drummer is a multi-genre chamber ensemble comprised of violin, cello, double bass, and percussive tap dancing. The recipients of a 2015 Artist Support Grant from the Jack Straw Foundation, they have just released a self-titled album of traditional Irish, Scottish, Gypsy, Classical and Jazz repertoire.

This unlikely ensemble presents an exhilarating visual and musical show. Brandon Vance (violin), Anna Doak (bass), and Gretchen Yanover (cello) are members of the Northwest Sinfonietta, the NW region's premier chamber orchestra.

Their abilities fluidly cross genre boundaries with this project. Mark Mendonca (tap) has performed on Broadway, television and on concert stages around the world. The ensemble performs in a variety of combinations and settings.

Bring a chair or blanket and come out to enjoy the concert at Kruckeberg Botanic Garden with your friends, family, and neighbors!

Plus, try delicious infused waters at Aegis Living of Shoreline’s free “Hydration Station.”
