What’s Going on This Weekend?

Posted by Tania L. Breton on 2/05/10 • Categorized as Mind & Soul

Today, I’ve got a two-fer for you to enjoy.
As a tribute to Black History Month, you can enjoy fascinating rhythms by Gershwin & Joplin.
Christina Clark and Kenneth Overton are two opera singers that are being celebrated.
The concerts will also feature a style jazz quintet comprised of pianists, violinists, double bassists, and more!

Accompanied by original projections developed by director Joachim Schamberger from archival materials from the National Gallery of Art, the musical program illustrates Joplin’s influence on the young Gershwin, and their indelible marks on American music as the respective Kings of Ragtime and American Popular Song.
The program examines the common musical genius of Gershwin and Joplin: seamlessly integrating the techniques of European traditional music with the wildly popular music of their time.

Today, you can enjoy a 45 minute performance during your lunch break.
Or if evenings are better, attend the 7:00pm performance that is a little over an hour.  This event is FREE!

Head over to the World Financial Center Winter Garden, 220 Vesey Street (NYC).
