Sixth Street Sundays Presents:
2VC: New Music for Two Cellos
3pm concert, 1:30pm lecture/workshop
Cellists Jessie Reagen Mann and Gene Carr met as Musicians in Residence at Congregation B’nai Jeshurun on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. They quickly discovered the joy in playing together and how few pieces were composed for 2 cellos! Gene and Jessie have made it their mission to commission amazing composers to write music for them, and the cello community at large. Occasionally these works include one other instrument. For this performance, 2VC will be joined by percussionist David Buchbut and guitarist Amanda Monaco. With varied classical, rock, improvisatory and Jazz backgrounds, Gene and Jessie bring excitement and freshness to this exciting new repertoire. Works to be featured by living composers including Derrik Jordan, Will Van Dyke, Jonathan Bell, Ljova, Amanda Monaco, Ramon Tasat and Oded Lev-Ari as well as some oldies but goodies.
Included with admission is a free pre-concert lecture/workshop at 1:30pm including some of the composers!
$15 adults, $8 under 21
Includes FREE wine for adults and refreshments for all
