“LA-based ensemble Astral Mixtape performed their arrangements of Astor Piazzolla and Aaron Copland pieces with a chamber orchestra that consisted of students from the Evergreen and Vancouver School Districts. The collaboration incorporated spontaneity and passionate intensity that resonated incredibly well with the crowd.” - James Bash, Northwest Reverb
