Bounce of the Sugar Plum Fairies
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker" music has been through many Jazz incarnations; we hear a lively one in Louis Singer's "Bounce of the Sugar Plum Fairies" from Don Byron. Also, dances by Leonard Bernstein and Florence Price, plus chamber music from New York composer John Musto, whose new opera "Later The Same Evening" premieres this week at the Manhattan School of Music.
