Why Mockingbird?

Just as the mockingbird sings the songs of other birds, we with our unique instrumentation, created a repertoire from the best composers of the past.  Our complete repertoire was  originally written for other instruments being transcribed by Mike Joseph.

 MOCKINGBIRD CHAMBER ENSEMBLE 

Mike Joseph: Vibraphone   Burt Strompf: Lyric Tuba   Julius Baker: Flute Juergen Schwietering: Violin & Viola    Glenn Glenn: Violin & Viola

"CLASSICALY TRAINED VIRTUOSOS.....A genuinely lyric tubist of remarkable finesse and agility, sometimes noble, pleading, sturdy, mellow or just a fine basso continuo. Vibraphone with demonic skill.....uncanny accuracy, sensitivity and dexterity, skilled use of the sustaining pedal was of the finest" Los Angeles Time, Walter Arlen

MASTERS OF THEIR INSTRUMENTS.....SOUND INTERPRETIVE RELEXES. Boston Globe, Richard Bruell

A CHARMING ALTERNATIVE IDEA.....MORE THAN A MOCKINGBIRD'S SONG   Houston Chronical , Ann Holmes
