In other news, Jherek has rejoined Amanda Palmer's band The Grand Theft Orchestra for her rescheduled European tour. The Seattle-based composer/arranger will be performing a solo set in support every night too. Jherek is also playing a couple of high profile New York shows this summer, including one premiering a piece he wrote for The Kronos Quartet. See all of the shows on our live page.
