ABOUT THE ENSEMBLE
Brendan Allen created The Sardonic Philharmonic as a way to have his music performed. When you go to college to get a formal education in music composing you are surrounded by student musicians and ensembles who play your music for you all the time. Outside of college it can be difficult to hear your music unless you are a well known enough to be commissioned to write some new music. Or you can just do it yourself!
So with the Tacoma PorchFest as his goal for a first ever performance, he began to beg musicians to please please please join his group. The musicians assembled for the inaugural performance bring a wealth of experience! These musician can be seen playing in the Rainier Symphony, Tacoma Community College Symphonic Band and Orchestra, Tacomarama Community Street Band and many other ensembles performing throughout the Puget Sound region. They are music educators, students, professional performers and enthusiastic amateurs. Brendan extends his gratitude to all these wonderful performers in helping bring new music into the world.
