Columbus is blessed with a vibrant, exciting music scene. It is especially blessed with an amazing array of talented musicians and composers, "Locally Sourced" music making, if you will.
If you have never heard Zach Koors' music, you're in for a treat this Sunday at the Clintonville Woman's Club.
One writer described his music this way...
The music of Columbus, OH native Zach Koors seeks to bridge the classic with the contemporary, integrating a unique mixture of fresh harmony, inviting lyricism and robust rhythm. While impacting audiences across the country, Koors' work has also been described in his hometown as "organically composed music written to nourish its community." —Attend. Arts/Culture/Media
Variants of Seven is a work for three marimbas which has echoes of Philip Glass, but with Koors' unique voice.
