Accordionist Courtney Von Drehle (with clarinetist Andrew Alikhanov) Emmy nominated composer and multi-instrumentalist Courtney Von Drehle has been working on his particular brand of musical alchemy since 1980. Early projects in hybrid rock music led to collaborations with many modern dancers and the honing of his ability to create music to accompany other media. This has led to numerous commissions for music for film scores, commercials, radio, dance, theater, and performance projects. In addition to co-leading 3 LEG TORSO with the inimitable Béla R. Balogh, Mr.Von Drehle is also a member of the Afro-Hebrew ensemble KLEZMOCRACY, a resident composer for DO JUMP THEATER, and half of VONIGA, a collaborative musical entity with Joe Janiga.
