Saturday August 23 7pm: The Turbulence Orchestra plays “The Storms of Jupiter” an Extraplanetary Pastoral Symphony. The Turbulence Orchestra returns to Brattleboro. Dave Peck (PEK) conducts a large ensemble improvisation of unrivaled sonorous intensity. PEK is a multi-instrument improviser who plays all kinds of instruments including saxophones, clarinets, double reeds, percussion, electronics and auxiliary sound making devices of all kinds. In 7th grade he started saxophones, first on alto, then switching to tenor in high school. He spent 10 years playing in rock bands and studying classical and jazz saxophone with Kurt Heisig in the San Jose CA area before moving to Boston in 1989 to attend Berklee where he studied performance with George Garzone. While there, PEK found that Boston had a thriving improvisation scene, and it was here that he developed his mature pure improvisation language. PEK will be joined on stage by up to 25 musicians under his conduction.
The ensemble for The Storms of Jupiter is comprised of seasoned improvisors from the Evil Clown Roster who are all very experienced at large ensemble broad
