BEST OF Kickoff

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
This day marks the kickoff to Evening Music's BEST OF Festival, as we celebrate the best in music programming from the past year. To begin the celebration, we have the Charles Tolliver Orchestra’s 50th anniversary recreation of Thelonious Monk's historic performance at Town Hall. We’ll hear Terrance McKnight in conversation with Duke University Jazz Loft director Sam Stephenson during the concert and our special guest host, Nadia Sirota will let us know what’s in store for the rest of the week. Also tonight, music by Osvaldo Golijov and Christopher Theofanidis.
