JEFF SCOTT — Elegy for Innocence
How do you find your voice in the loudest city in the world? The second show in our Ghosts of Gotham mini-series features the dynamic duo of bassoonist/vocalist Eleni Katz and pianist/composer Llewellyn Sánchez-Werner, with a program of musical gems that have been unearthed from the endless hustle and bustle of NYC, diamonds of sound that were forged in the stress and pressure of the city, the loneliness, and the vibrant life that quivers on every street corner. We’ll hear from the titans of the past (Bernstein, Copland, and Gershwin) as well as voices of tomorrow like Cindi Hsu, Lila Meretzky, Jeff Scott, and Llewellyn Sánchez-Werner himself.
Tickets: $75
