Candlelight Concerts III: Jazzin’ with the Classics for Christmas
$15-$25 suggested donation
Tom Collier, vibraphone
Linda Tsatsanis, soprano
Jeffrey Cohan, flute
Martin Lund, jazz piano/clarinet/flute
In this program by candlelight, classical and jazz artists and friends from classical and jazz realms meld their musical perspectives and personalities in an unusual annual collaboration and festive celebration of the Yuletide season that is guaranteed to generate an abundance of Christmas cheer.
For the second year vibraphonist Tom Collier joins soprano Linda Tsatsanis, flutist Jeffrey Cohan and jazz pianist, clarinetist, and flutist Martin Lund in an effort to to bridge contemporary improvisational jazz and art music of baroque and renaissance times. Instrumental musicians have "jazzed up" melodies familiar to them in the style of their day for centuries, and this team's virtuoso improvisations on Yuletide favorites, and their renditions of classical standards, will bring together the best of jazz and classical worlds. A completely new program as usual for 2016.
In memory of George Shangrow, our seventh annual Candlelight Concerts continues a tradition which George and Jeffrey initiated in June of 2010, following countless past Candlelight Evenings of Baroque Music and festive holiday chamber music celebrations in Seattle over four decades. Chamber music both familiar and brand new is performed by some of the Northwest’s finest musicians, many of them close friends and colleagues of Maestro Shangrow.
