Thomas Blumberg Syzygy – Jazz Concert at the Center

Thomas Blumberg: Syzygy is a group of LA-based musicians and educators. Each member is a full time performer and educator. Join them as they explore original compositions, and other songs from a wide array of genres including The Beatles, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Paul Simon, and many more.

The quartet consists of Thomas Blumberg (guitar), Arno Kristensen (piano), and Nico Vasquez (drums). Together they have decades of experience and have been on tour throughout the California area.

Thomas is currently in an artist fellowship with The California Institute of the Arts. He has had the opportunity to play and study with Steve Lehman, Vardan Ovsepian, Larry Koonse, Jonathan Pinson, Ravi Coltrane, and Darek Oles.

In addition to performing, Thomas and his bandmates Arno Kristensen and Nico Vasquezwill be holding a masterclass that same day! The masterclass will feature the band talking about the experience of being professional traveling musicians in the California area, in addition to covering musical and improvisational techniques. The class will start at 5:30 and run for an hour, followed by the concert (with a short break in between).
