3 Leg Torso plays at Duvall’s McCormick Park on Wednesday, Aug. 23 at 6:30 p.m.

Start with an innovative chamber music trio, add a veteran percussionist/mallet player, and finish with a fiery upright bass.

It’s a gourmet musical recipe for 3 Leg Torso, a quintet that performs an eclectic synthesis of chamber music, tango, klezmer, latin and world music. Feast your ears on their exciting sounds in Duvall’s McCormick Park on Wednesday, August 23 at 6:30 p.m.

David Stabler, writing for The Oregonian, describes them this way, “3 Leg Torso is actually five fully figured men, survivors of classical, jazz and rock ‘n’ roll backgrounds. They have the same manager as Pink Martini, and they tell musical stories similarly flavored from barrios, Paris, Budapest and beyond, but quirkier.”

Their classically tinged blend of gypsy folk and steamy tangos exists in a fluid netherworld between serious art and pop culture. Come with a sense of musical adventure, and expect daring, evocative music that could include blues accordion, a Moroccan jig or a Scottish Sufi tune.

The Duvall Cultural Commission (formerly the Duvall Arts Commission) presents free SummerStage concerts in McCormick Park on Wednesday evenings from now through August 30. SummerStage is sponsored by the City of Duvall, 4Culture, the Duvall Chamber of Commerce, and many generous local business supporters.

Free kids’ arts and crafts activities, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the park, are sponsored by Cherry Valley Veterinary Hospital and staffed by Tall Cedars Academy.

Before the concert, be sure to visit the Duvall Farmers Market adjacent to the McCormick Park parking lot. Pick up fresh tamales, churros and a cool drink.
