3 Leg Torso and the Beaverton Symphony Orchestra, led by Maestro Travis Hatton combine forces for an evening of Hungarian and Eastern European themed music.

The Beaverton Symphony will open with:
Brahms Hungarian Dance #6,
Bartók, Hungarian Sketches
Kachaturian, Masquerade Suite

The members of 3 Leg Torso reunite with Maestro Travis Hatton to perform original and traditional pieces arranged for full symphony orchestra. The ensemble worked with Mr. Hatton in 2008 while the conductor was working with the musicians of the Metropolitan Youth Symphony.

"We really enjoyed collaborating with Maestro Hatton and the MYS", says accordionist and co-leader/founder of 3LT, Courtney Von Drehle. "Travis's acute attention to detail makes for a spirited marriage of the World Music that 3 Leg Torso is known for with the orchestral lushness and depth of sonic possibilities offered by a full symphonic orchestra."

To further expand the quintet's history of performing and collaborating with large symphonic ensembles, Béla R. Balogh, violinist and co-leader of 3LT, had been searching for conductors and orchestras in the region to collaborate with and reuniting with Maestro Hatton was a great idea and welcomed opportunity.
Says Balogh: "Travis was a natural fit for 3 Leg Torso. We had successfully worked with him in the past, and his understanding of the music was elemental in creating a show that was thrilling for both performers and listeners"
