Invert, the “upside down” string quartet featuring cellists Steven Berson and Chris George, violinist Helen Yee, and violist Chris Jenkins, will be performing at Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, New York on April 21, 2007 to kick-off the release of their new full length third CD. Entitled “The Strange Parade,” Invert’s latest release is a fresh departure, even for this already alternative string quartet. The CD includes fifteen pieces that showcase Invert’s distinctive mix of compositions and improvisations by members of the band, and their own arrangement of Japanese composer Shigeru Umebayashi’s “Yumeji’s Theme.” What sets “The Strange Parade” apart from their previous recordings is the inclusion of two cuts that feature Roberto Juan Rodriguez on drums. Invert’s often groove-driven music gets an extra rhythmic boost from Rodriguez (who has performed with Joe Jackson, Paul Simon, Paquito D’Rivera, Ruben Blades and Marc Ribot among numerous others) on the songs “Dog Days” and “The Peak.”

Scottish traditional music.

Classes, workshops a concert and ceilidh.
The festival is being held in Milngavie, near Glasgow, Scotland on the weekend of February 24th - 25th 2007.

For cello there will be classes at 3 different levels, all taught by ear and covering Scottish tunes, accompaniment techniques and improvisation. There will also be opportunities to play with the harpers.

Cello tutors are Seylan Baxter and Patricia Strain.
