Join us for our third annual open melodica jam! We'll improvise, read some chorales, preview some music, and make some friends! Attendance is free, but please RSVP - link is on our website!
Our melodicas have 44 reeds each, and they have to be tuned one at a time by shaving off tiny bits of metal from them. Hear our well-tuned melodicas in our upcoming album (with previews up on bandcamp!) and come hear us play on the 13th at @singersny !

Our favorite melodica quartet is returning this Sunday (Dec 15) with a feisty new arrangement of Bach's Brandenburg 5 — you know, the one with those gorgeous flute countermelodies! Speaking of flute, @kyrese.w will be starting the show with a set of ethereal electro-acoustic flute pieces. And for those wanting a delightful mix of plucked strings and live electronics, @brianellissound will deliver in spades! ♠️
We'll also have what is probably the second-ever performance of ondes Martenot and Melodica Quartet, with a new Shostakovich arrangement! So def not a show to miss 💍
The @mdbquartet is:
