Art of Trio is a Woodwind Trio consisting of Bari, Tenor Sax, and Flute. Drawing on the diversity of their musical backgrounds, Brzytwa, Lewis, and Robinson search for the common thread they share as deeply committed improvisers. Collectively the performers have spent time honing their chops with Traditional and Contemporary classical music, Jazz, and Electronic music. Together, they have cultivated abeautifully distinctive vocabulary of long tones, rhythmic grooves, tonal lattices, and vibrations of microtonal clashing and resonance. The players have performed in a diversity of venues both domestic and abroad such as Roy Disney Concert Hall, Gilles Peterson’s WorldWide Festival, Festival des Musiques Innovatrices, and many others. They will make their New York Debut at John Zorn’s The Stone” in June 2012. This ensemble performs creative, improvised music that draws on the traditions of Jazz, Chamber, Electronic music and beyond.

The parade celebrates the culmination of Trespass, a collaborative project between Arto Lindsay, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and West of Rome Public Art.

The statements will be printed on T-shirts in English and in Spanish and worn as part of the parade. The T-shirts will also be sold online to benefit the project. Many of the artists will join the parade with a performative piece. The parade will first convene at 1933 South Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90007.
