The 2008 Arcosanti concert series begins this evening, with a performance by the Andreas Kapsalis Trio. Setting up stage in the Cafe of the Crafts III building, AKT will open at 7pm, after a light Mediterranean spread is served. In 2002, Kapsalis (centre) assembled this Chicago-based trio with Percussionist Jamie Gallagher (l) and Instrumentalist Darren Garvey (r). A unique guitarist, Kapsalis severed a tendon in his left hand while apprenticing with a luthier, thus making it possible for him to produce sound with only eight fingers on strings.

On the music they create, Kapsalis says: "we enjoy arranging intellectual compositions - music that you have to think about, but at the same time, we love the intensity of a simple piece of bubble-gum music." Come check out the trio and their blends of jazz, acoustic, and Middle Eastern sounds. Tickets are $20 for the 6pm dinner and 7pm show.
Call Carri Krueger at 928.533.8295 for more information.
Menu: Potato Leek Soup, Butternut Squash Soup, Tabouli, Pita/Hummus, Cheese/Crackers, Chips/Salsa, Veggies/Dip, Spinach Artichoke Dip, Vegan Options, and Desserts!
