Betsy Tinney, cello storyteller: Using a cello and an electronic loop pedal, Betsy weaves rich, complex and varied tapestries of sound. Her original cello compositions paint pictures and tell tales, from thunderstorms and skeletal mice to dancing elephants and humpback whales. In addition to her solo work, Betsy performs with many different groups (from singer/songwriters to rock bands). She often be found beneath a very large Maine Coon cat (she has several), does calligraphy and makes jewelry, and spends an inordinate amount of time catching Pokemon. (Team Instinct; favorite Pokemon: Phanpy - of course.) Website: betsytinney.com

 

Ménage à Trio concert at Friday Tea in Seattle

Ménage à Trio is a string improv trio featuring Betsy Tinney on cello, Sunnie Larsen on viola and either (or both!) Geli Wuerzner / Alexander James Adams on fiddle.  Together they will create musical magic right in front of your eyes! No pre-arranged or memorized melodies, keys, or tempos; instead, they improvise music inspired by prompts from their audience (for example, "Insomnia," "Whisky and Chocolate," or "A Tipsy Wyvern").  An ongoing, always once-in-a-lifetime experience that should be not be missed; come be part of creation!
