“Please join us on Sunday, September 21, when Avonova presents the pickPocket Ensemble.  The show starts at 3:00PM, and the admission is set at $15.  Doors open at 2:15PM.  From the street corner to the concert hall, the pickPocket ensemble creates a contemporary chamber cafe music that moves both body and soul.

Based in Northern California, we have toured internationally and released 6 CDs of original music. Our music has been featured in several films and on NPR and public television. To listen to the pickPocket ensemble is to embark on a journey.  Speak to audience members after a performance: one will have been to Bogota, one to Prague, one to Paris. Yet for all its wide-ranging inspirations, the music of the pickPocket ensemble remains intensely personal and immediately engaging, an invitation to listen in on an intimate and ongoing conversation. The group consists of Rick Corrigan (accordion, piano, composition), Yates Brown (guitars, banjo), Chloe Allen (violin), John Slattery (percussion) and Colin Williams (double bass).”
