#3056: ETHEL Plays Jacob TV, I

New Sounds | May 24, 2010

For this New Sounds, experience the music of Dutch composer, JacobTV, (Jacob Ter Veldhuis) who is something of an outlaw in the established modern classical music scene. One of the most performed European composers, TV's rock band past converged with his time spent at conservatory, lately weaving American media (yes, even Jerry Springer) and world events into his works. Listen to the quartet ETHEL perform new versions of TV's works specially arranged for and dedicated to them, as recorded at a New Sounds Live Concert event at Merkin Hall a few weeks ago. (Part 1 of 2.)
