    Pianist Arno Kristensen and Guitarist Thomas Blumberg will be presenting this performance in collaboration with Sunbeam Arts Residency as night 3 of a 10 day run of performances through out California. Collected donations from these 10 performances will go towards fire relief for educators that lost their home in the Eaton fire.

    The music being shared uses a lifetime love of classical and jazz as the foundation to explore folk melodies that have been passed down from generation to generation.

    What's the music?

    Thomas Blumberg

    Where does this music come from?

    The music we play explores our ethno-cultural roots and what it means to learn beyond your natural born musical tradition. Both Arno and Thomas have received a world class education in playing both jazz and classical music. This serves as the foundation as they revisit folk melodies that have been passed down from musician-to-musician for generations.
