These compositions weave traditional styles using instruments such as the Middle Eastern doumbek, Cuban guitar, and West African kora with jazz and blues. Vox Pop has roots in ritual and in the collaborative performance of lyric poems of antiquity. Their poems evoke ancient, earth-based myths. Following the performance, audience members have the opportunity to meet the artists and discuss their work. The program will include works by Bach, Donizetti, Rachmaninoff, Faure, Katie Moran Bart, and others.
Admission is free.
