Modern Movers and Shakers

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
20th century music enthusiasts and neophytes alike will enjoy tonight's playlist as we delve into the works of some of the principle and lesser-known shakers in modern music.

Although spring might be around the corner, we will plunge into wintery imagery with some examples of musical modernism: Conni Ellisor's "Blackberry Winter" (Paul Gambill with the Nashville Chamber Orchestra) and Sir Arnold Bax's "Winter Waters." Rounding out our evening will be the timeless J.S. Bach and his "French Suite" No. 4, with jazz pianist Keith Jarrett performing the honors.
