Orchestra of the Earth Press Release

J&J Music, Tai Shan and The Teaching are proud to present an Orchestra of the Earth Party April 2nd, 2009 at the Lo-Fi in Seattle.  Imagine turning an audience into an orchestra after an evening of Tai Shan’s original compositions. For one night only the “joyful improvisational jazz” of The Teaching and Americana singer-songwriter Tai Shan will perform together to provide the basses of an audience collaborative song in honor of the earth. Invited to help lead the audience will be some of Seattle’s finest musicians. Imagine a room teaming with a dozen woodwinds, brass, and percussion instruments joined by the voices of every audience member. The song will be recorded and sold on Bandcamp.com with the proceeds donated to People for Puget Sound.  People For Puget Sound is a citizens’ group working to protect and restore the health of Puget Sound and the Northwest Straits through education and action.

In addition, for a donation of $10 at the door you can write down a song subject about the earth and the band will write a spontaneous song around it.  Proceeds will be given to People For Puget Sound.

“The best that we can do is to belong the music of this sphere. At the same moment that I sing a note there is probably a cricket chirping in the yard, a lark beginning his morning runs of melody, or a humpback whale singing an eerie song, perhaps in the same key as me. Altogether we are the world’s orchestra. And as we take to song, we influence all species. As butterflies change the weather with their beating wings, we conduct life through song.”-Tai Shan

The performance will be at The Lo-Fi Performance Gallery 429 Eastlake Ave, Seattle, WA 98109 Thursday April 2nd

Doors open at 9pm and show time is at 10:00pm, Cover charge is  $5

Her lyrics combine with acoustic guitar, hammond organ, cello, bass and drums to create her bolero, country and jazz-infused tunes. The lyrical content of the songs range from evolution to alcoholism, with wide sweeping melodies that earned her the label “a poet and a seamstress of melodies.”
Tiny Planet, the title track of the CD, is a song about the sea and its interconnection with the evolution of mankind. Proceeds from the online sales of this song will be donated to People for Puget Sound, an environmental, non-profit group dedicated to the restoration of the Puget Sound. Visit www.TaiShanMusic.com to find out more.

Tai Shan is described as one of “Seattle’s finest singer-songwriters/composers.” Her clear soprano voice and complex guitar melodies have been featured on nationally released CD’s, international videos, local TV and radio stations. She has performed throughout the West Coast at venues such as Benaroya Hall. She has composed for jazz ensembles and string quartets. Tai Shan graduated with honors from Seattle’s renowned Cornish College of the Arts.
