Nuove Musiche

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Norwegian guitarist Rolf Lislevand titled his 2006 ECM release "Nuove Musiche" (New Music) as a signifier of what lies within. Remixing very old tunes with jazz instruments and early music oddities like the theorbo and tnyckelharpa (plus modern vocals), Lislevand turns the "old" into the "new" with improvisational flair.

Also Featured Tonight:

Astor Piazzolla / Histoire du tango
Manuel Ponce / Concierto del sur
Harry Partch / The Dreamer That Remains -- A Study In Loving
Easley Blackwood / Microtonal Etudes (selections)

Evening Music will begin at 9PM tonight, right after the WNYC special "A Beautiful Symphony of Brotherhood: A Musical Journey in the Life of Martin Luther King, Jr." which airs at 8PM.
