New Sounds® Live: New Songs
Thursday, May 20, 2010 7:30 pm
New Songs:
Elizabeth & the Catapult, Ed Pastorini and Gabriel Kahane
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 sets by singer/pianist Ed Pastorini and singer/pianist/composer Gabriel Kahane.
This concert will be webcast live by WQXR at www.wqxr.org/q2 and taped for future broadcast on WNYC.
