Tue 3/3 @ 7:30PM
Akron’s Tuesday Musical Association is hosting a concert that presents three musicians who erase the boundaries between classical music and jazz. Saxophone players Branford Marsalis, from the legendary musical New Orleans Marsalis family; Timothy McAllister a professor of music at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, who plays with the four-saxophone PRISM Quartet; and pianist Liz Ames, also Ann Arbor-based and a duo collaborator with McAllister as well, will, we’re told “blend the spontaneity of jazz with the structured elegance of classical music.”
Their program includes music by Claude Debussy, Samuel Barber, Branford’s brother Wynton Marsalis, Ennio Morricone and contemporary British composer Sally Beamish and American composer Michael Daugherty whose Kansas City Confidential was written for the trio.
The concert takes place at the University of Akron’s EJ Thomas Hall. Get tickets here.
