Friction Presents: Song and Dance - October 10th

---

"If you can walk you can dance, if you can talk you can sing"

We can all do it and we all love it, so join us in celebrating songs and dances from around the world. In this program curated by Mitso Floor, Friction Quartet presents a joyous and diverse selection of songs, from beautiful and delightful songs written by Carlos Paredes, Antonin Dvorak, and Kenji Bunch to whirlwind dances written by Astor Piazolla and Franghiz Ali-Zadeh.

Also included are two pop songs you might be familiar with that show off the arranging skills of Friction's own Mitso Floor and Doug Machiz.
