Thelonius

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
We launch the evening with an eponymous jam from Thelonious Monk and his ensemble (WNYC broadcasts the recreation of Monk's famous concert at Town Hall on February 26th). Paired with that are two works with their own ebb and flow from Maurice Ravel and Isaac Albeniz. Also, we hear Duke Ellington's "Goutelas Suite," originally meant for private consumption, to commemorate the renovation of a 13th century French chateau.

Also Featured Tonight:

Anton Webern / Two Pieces for Cello and Piano
Ned Rorem / Three Barcarolles Nos. 1,2,and 3
Julius Williams / Toccatina for String Orchestra
Virgil Thomson / Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra
