Dragon/Sellers is not a Medieval shop for procurement of fire breathers, but something just as thrilling! Comprised of Joey Sellers and Ryan Dragon, this trombone duo’s performances include audience participation, balloons, the poetry of Bukowski, a necessarily slightly abridged version of Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring” and other unmentionable surprises.
And, it’s free! Don’t miss this innovative concert on Thursday, September 1st at 2:00 p.m. in Fine Arts 101 on the Saddleback College campus. Parking is free in Lot 12.
