The free-spirited, 12-member Firebird Ensemble takes flight in a one-night only genre-busting concert, Tuesday, October 7th @ 8:00pm at the Tenri Cultural Institute in Greenwich Village, NYC.

Bryan Nulon. Made up of some of Bostons finest artists on the new music scene today, the Firebird Ensemble includes: Sarah Bob (piano), Sarah Brady (flute), Gabriela Diaz (violin), Rane Moore (clarinet), David Russell (cello), Aaron Trant (percussion), and Kate Vincent (viola); with special guests Paula Downes (soprano), Thea Lobo (mezzo-soprano), Jeff Means (conductor), Jason White (horn), and Ina Zdorovetchi (harp).
