David Krakauer & Kathleen Tagg in Concert

Grammy-nominated David Krakauer "genre-fluid clarinet genius – USA National Public Radio (NPR)" and Kathleen Tagg the celebrated New York-based South African pianist-composer ("superbly turned-out artist - NY Concert Review") hailed from New York City will be performing a once off concert at The Showroom Theatre in Prince Albert.

Their unique music has travelled to the world's biggest stages, such as Carnegie Hall, to leading jazz festivals and clubs big and small across the USA, Europe, Asia and South Africa. The program they will be performing lives at the intersection of world music and improvisation and is a unique opportunity to see the pair’s unorthodox playing styles unplugged at close quarters.

Krakauer & Tagg share a constant quest to redefine the sounds and roles of their instruments, bringing together all aspects of their music making influences, ranging from interlocking African drumming patterns to jazz to romantic symphonic music to minimalism to klezmer. Their acrobatic and highly virtuosic arrangements of tunes by a host of performer-composers from around the globe are placed alongside original compositions and complete reimagining's of traditional tunes and standards close to their hearts.

David & Kathy have kindly gifted their time and all ticket sales to the Kaleidoscope Music & Arts Festival, PACT (Prince Albert Community Trust), and the ARCO-PACT Strings Project happening in Prince Albert.
