Bachtopus Releases Third Commission - USA

Bachtopus
Bachtopus is happy to release the third commission from their 2020 Composers Commissioning Fund, “Jenny’s Goat Waltz,” which was arranged for them by Rob Curto.

This composition was inspired by a long-distance romance between Curto and his wife when they were courting. The original version of the piece was written as a trombone tune when they first met. Curto was staying on a goat farm at the time, and goats are Jenny’s favorite animal.

The Bachtopus ensemble includes accordionists Robert Duncan, Peter Flint, Denise Koncelik, Mayumi Miyaoka and Jeanne Velonis.

Their 2020 Composer Commissioning Fund is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC).
