Techung is a Tibetan singer/songwriter living in the USA. He is best known for his skilled and moving performances of traditional Tibetan music, dance, and opera. Techung’s career, along with his ongoing projects demonstrates his commitment to Tibetan music and culture. This is the result of his classical training and also of his experience as a child growing up as a Tibetan exile in India in the 1960s and 1970s. He is a musician in the traditional Tibetan folk and classical style, but he also transcends this description, as the foregoing story and his discography and collaborations with musicians from other musical traditions and heritages aptly show. He understands music as a living art and tradition. This upcoming tour is the final outcome of the project where Techung and his ensemble of Tibetan traditional artists will perform for the first time in the US, a concert based on a repertoire of Nangma and Toeshey music.

On Sunday Sept.11th, the place to be will be the Cutting Room when VTY Jazz Arts presents another Sunday Serenade tribute to the legendary tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan. The doors open at 3:30 P.M. and the music starts at 4:00 P.M. Two sets of great music for one music charge in a room that lends itself to great listening. Hope to see you live and in-person on Sunday Sept.11th for this not to be missed tribute for Clifford Jordan.

A lifelong devotee of Bluegrass, Tim O'Brien is skilled on guitar, mandolin, fiddle and banjo. He often performs with his wife, vocalist Jan Fabricius.
