New Sounds® Live: New Songs

New Songs:
Elizabeth & the Catapult and Ed Pastorini
A special edition of WNYC’s New Sounds Live with host John Schaefer. This program explores new approaches to the art song, a form perfected by Schubert and usually restricted to piano and voice. Today, the art song is being stretched and reshaped by rock, jazz and minimalism. The concert features a commissioned work from Elizabeth and the Catapult (pianist Elizabeth Ziman, guitarist Pete Lalish and drummer Danny Molad). The threesome's unique blend of pop playfulness and grown-up introspection along with their energetic, surprise-filled live shows have made them a favorite on New York's downtown club scene. The program also includes a set by singer/pianist Ed Pastorini.
This concert will be webcast live by WQXR at www.q2live.org and taped for future broadcast on WNYC.
