Ben Thomas plays the vibes and bandoneon, and composes music.

Projects

Ben Thomas Tango Project

For over 10 years, this group has performed traditional and modern tango, with arrangements inspired by Troilo, Biagi, and Pugliese.
Though often playing for dancers at milongas, we are also committed to modern and original tango compositions.


Torch

Formed in 2012, TORCH is a chamber ensemble dedicated to re-imagining the works of 20th century composers and presenting original music. This collective includes Brian Chin – trumpet, Eric Likkel – clarinet, Steve Schermer – bass.
