The Seattle-based group Torch took their name from a Thomas Mann quote: “Art is the sacred torch that must shed its merciful light into all life’s terrible depths.” It’s a lofty idea that they not only live up to, but also turn into fun, expressive and soul-satisfying music. All four band members are conservatory-trained, all are music educators, and all are masterful improvisers and composers. Enjoy this session of original music and delightful conversation! https://youtu.be/yiJiCHzF3hA
