Tiempo Libre Tiempo Libre is one of the hottest young Latin bands today and the first authentic all-Cuban timba band in the United States. The group is known for its stimulating and joyful performances of timba, which is a mix of high voltage Latin jazz and the seductive rhythms of the rich tradition of their native Cuba. The members were trained in different Havana conservatories and have toured the world with such renowned artists as: Albita, Cachao, Arturo Sandoval, NG La Banda, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Isaac Delgado, and Roberto Torres. Since their formation in 2001, Tiempo Libre has been on a mission to share the musical heritage with as wide an audience as possible, reinterpreting and reinvigorating traditional Cuban music with a youthful, modern sound and forging a new style born from the meeting of their Cuban roots and their new American experience.

Classical Music in the Digital Age The ALS presentation "Classical Music in the Digital Age" is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration as leading musicians, composers and conceptual artists from around the world join the Earlham College Orchestra for an unforgettable concert of electronic/hip-hop music, composition and the visual arts. Highlighting the performance is The Ahn Trio, Paul Miller/a.k.a DJ Spooky, Kenji Bunch and the Earlham College Orchestra. In addition, award-winning Indian film composer, singer and lyricist, Illyaraja, has composed a piece for the Earlham Orchestra for the concert.  The Ahn Trio, violinist Angella and twins, pianist Lucia and cellist Maria, capture the intellect, hearts and souls of all who hear them. Hailed as a brilliantly distinguished ensemble gifted with extraordinary powers of communication and an exquisite blend of sound, each of the artists performs with superb technique and contagious excitement. People magazine included The Ahn Trio in its "Most Beautiful" issue.  Paul Miller/a.k.a. DJ Spooky is an award winning conceptual artist, writer and musician. He is best known as "DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid." Miller's recordings include a vast volume of music and collaborations with a wide variety of celebrated musicians and composers such as the music score for the Cannes and Sundance Award winning film Slam. Miller was also editor-at-large of Artbyte: The Magazine of Digital Culture.  Kenji Bunch has emerged as one of the most prominent American composers of his generation. Hailed as the "composer to watch" by The New York Times, he is the composer in residence with the Mobile Symphony. Studying at Julliard, Bunch has become one of New York's premiere interpreters of new and experimental music. Bunch is also a versatile musician, founding the Flux Quartet and playing fiddle in the bluegrass band Citigrass. He also has been recognized for groundbreaking original works for viola.  Illyaraja is an Indian award winning film composer, singer and lyricist. He has composed more than 4,000 songs and provided music for more than 800 Indian films in a career spanning 30 years. Forrest Tobey met the composer while leading the India Study Abroad Program this past fall, which resulted with Illyaraja composing a piece specifically for the Earlham orchestra and this concert. Earlham College Orchestra is a large instrumental ensemble dedicated to the performance of both standard and unusual orchestral repertoire. The orchestra is a mix of both music majors and non-majors who seek an opportunity to continue playing on their instrument of choice, even as they pursue other academic interests. Forrest Tobey, who began teaching at Earlham in the fall of 2003, directs the orchestra. A pianist and conductor trained in both classical and jazz performance as well as composition, Tobey is developing a computer music studio on campus which provides students with an opportunity to work with the computer both as an aid for composition and as a musical instrument capable of live interactive performance.
