Improbable Beasts - HBS lunch-time concerts
FREE
We're delighted to have been invited to perform on the Harvard Business School's lunchtime concert series. We'll be doing mostly the same set as at the Winsor Music concert, with the addition of "Funky Groove Vortex". We have long felt that it is vital for any aspiring business leader to fully appreciate the awesome resonance and power of bass clarinet ensemble music, and we're glad HBS feels the same way. This series is primarily geared toward the HBS community, so there is no additional information online, but feel free to show up on the 21st, we'd love to see you!
Improbable Beasts - Music of the Mystics
We are beyond thrilled to be sharing a program with the brilliant musicians of Winsor Music. On our set, we'll be performing two of our favorites -- our arrangements of 11the century mystic Hildegard von Bingen's "O Virtus Sapientiae" and American composer Marc Mellit's "Prometheus" -- as well as our arrangement of Finnish band Alamaailman Vasarat’s "Riistomaasiirtäjä" and a premiere of a new Rumi-inspired work by Jon titled "You Are the Universe in Ecstatic Motion." On the second half, the Beasts' own Rane Moore joins other members of Winsor Music in Osvaldo Golijov's vibrant and evocative "Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind" for clarinet and string quartet. We are so excited to work with Winsor Music on this powerful program, and we hope you will join us for it!
Improbable Beasts: OFF LEASH
Members of the Improbable Beasts, along with klezmer clarinetist extraordinaire Nat Seelen, present an eclectic program of jazz, klezmer, contemporary, and old music. Bennett and Amy play “We Speak Etruscan”!
Glens Falls Symphony
Come enjoy a toe-tapping celebration of dance music of the 1920’s. Tim Ray, pianist for Tony Bennett, will sizzle on stage in Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. The jazz band of the Glens Falls Symphony musicians and esteemed guests will also perform Gershwin’s Lullaby and Three Preludes, and a suite of music by early jazz pioneer bandleader Paul Whiteman, arranged by Charles Peltz.
