Lamentations

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson arranged music for great pop artists such as Marvin Gaye, Harry Belafonte and Donald Byrd, but his first love was classical music. He cofounded the Symphony of the New World in New York and served as music director for both the American Theater Lab and the American Dance Theater, in addition to composing music of his own. Tonight, hear Lamentations: Black/Folk Song Suite for solo cello. Also, music by Cecile Schott, Paul Giger, and Miles Davis.

Also Featured Tonight:

Traditional Yemeni / Fi Tariq al Habb
Traditional / Levantose el Conde Nino
Traditional / I'm Tired
Henry Purcell / Two In One Upon A Ground
