The idea behind this recital is to explore many different kinds of
two-person collaboration. In addition to performing with
talented vocalists and instrumentalists in a wide range of musical
styles, I'll be working with artists, dancers, and storytellers. It
looks like it'll be about a ninety-minute program, chock full of
musical and artistic variety:
• Christopher Maier (storyteller) with CK (piano): a story about people in the Ice Age, with improvised musical accompaniment
• Rebecca Dengler (mezzo-soprano) with CK (pipe organ): "Vedrò
con mio diletto" and "Squarciami pure il seno" by Antonio Vivaldi
• Paul Riola (tenor sax) with CK (electric guitar): a free improvisation involving electronic loops
• Charlotte Braud-Kern (mezzo-soprano) with CK (piano): "Come Away With Me" by Norah Jones
• Emily Brady (dancer) with CK (piano): "Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2" by Franz Liszt
~ intermission ~
• Katherine Hahn (visual artist) with CK (organ): "Puer natus est
nobis" and "Offrande et alleluia final" from Livre de Saint Sacrement
by Olivier Messiaen
• John Hubert (baritone) with CK (piano): "Quatre chansons de Don Quichotte" by Jacques Ibert
• Dan Kaplan (alto sax) with CK (piano): "Cinq danses exotiques" by Jean Françaix
• Rory Cowal (electric piano) with CK (piano): "Spartacus Love Theme"
by Alex North (based on Bill Evans' version from Conversations with
Myself)
• David Roberts (piano) with CK (voice): "Maria" from West Side Story by Stephen Sondheim/Leonard Bernstein
• Rachel Brady with CK (piano): "Toccatina" by Nikolai Kapustin
The performers come from many different parts of my life; members of my
church choir and congregation, members of my gamelan, musical
colleagues from other churches, student dancers from Denver School of
the Arts where I work part-time, and musician friends from Boulder and
Denver. This is a really fun opportunity for me to bring together
the talents of so many people I know into one extravaganza.
Any questions about the concert, please contact me directly.
