Every Tahoe Music Alive program starts with a conversation.

Before a single piece is chosen, Martha Russell sits down with the musicians to ask what they love to play — what moves them, what they've been working on, what they want an audience to experience. The program grows from there.

For Trio Bohémo's September 10 concert, that conversation is worth hearing. Martha spoke with members of the trio about how they shaped this particular program — the Czech heritage behind it, the folk traditions woven through it, and what they hope audiences take home.

The full house at Granlibakken on August 15th knows why the album "Refuge" by the George Cotsirilos Quartet was named a DownBeat Editors' Pick and climbed into the Top 30 on the JazzWeek radio charts. Their music was a thoughtful, collective search for connection. Presented by Tahoe Music Alive.
🎷🔥
The performing band included George Cotsirilos, Keith Saunders, Robb Fisher and Akira Tanna. Both sets were bluesy, intricate, and deeply human, each musician a master at his instrument. Soulful swing and serious artistry!

Everyone got into it!
Community outreach is a key value for Tahoe Music Alive.
George Cotsirilos, Keith Saunders, Akira Tanna, and Robb Fisher conducted a improv workshop before their August 15 concert. Following the format they presented, each attendees had a turn at taking a solo. Great fun and lots of learning for all. Advice: Listen continuously to the sounds you like to hear. Practice scales and riffs. Play with people you enjoy being with.

Who's ready to get their improv on? 🎸 Join us for a FREE improv workshop with the quartet on August 15th at 2PM at Granlibakken Tahoe! 🏔️ Ever wondered how George Cotsirilos comes up with his guitar riffs? 🤔

PREVIEW: George Cotsirilos talks about his process of composing original music. "First it's in my head, then I go to the guitar to see if I can get the sound I want, and then if tends to go somewhere after that I follow it - often to a place different from what I was originally hearing. If it goes to a place I like, I'll just keep going with it, and that process gathers its own momentum, and then it ends up as a composition."
