Pops go artsy
The Tribattery Pops announce their 2013 World Tour, starting as usual with the downtown Little League opening day parade. Downtown Express got a teaser on the show and our upcoming album featuring music by Philip Glass:
“[Glass has] given his blessing to Concerto for Saxophone Quartet and Orchestra being the featured song in next year’s Downtown Little League’s Opening Day parade.
…
‘They said they would be very interested to see what we do with it,’ Goodkind said. ‘The Little Leaguers are going to march to post-modernist music.’”
(Downtown Express, 26-Dec-2012)
