"Brouhaha", Squonk’s show, is an immersive outdoor spectacle bursting with rollicking music, dazzling imagery, and the thrill of audience participation. At the center of this riotous romp is the Squonkcordion, an enormous musical instrument powered by behemoth bellows topped with towering tuba bells.
At the peak of the performance, Squonk invites the audience to play this foghorn organ, welcoming them to experience the joy of a brass band and the fireworks of community. The show ends with a 30-foot head made of brilliantly colored banners, comically blinking its eyes and shooting smoke out of its ears. Throughout this visual extravaganza, Squonk’s musicians add driving rhythms, vibrant keyboards, wild wind synth, and hypnotic guitar riffs to the Squonkcordion’s rich and brassy sound. A raucous fusion of styles, Squonk’s music weaves together the comic and ridiculous with the celebratory and majestic. Critics have praised Squonk as “Flamboyant! Dreamy!” (Pittsburgh City Paper) and “Playful! Imaginative! Fun and outlandish!” (Pittsburgh Quarterly). Photo by David S. Rubin
