The Pocket presents the performance in a ticketed room built for attentive listening, with limited seating arranged to keep the musicians close and a bar in the space.
The available material identifies the act by its billed name but supplies no background on the orchestra’s origins, personnel, repertoire, recordings, collaborators, or previous appearances.
