Meadows School of the Arts Performance of “Clazzical” (**)

Time: 7:30 p.m.

“CLAZZICAL!” is a program of music that, like the title, represents a fusion of “classical” and jazz styles, written by composers who negotiated both genres equally well. The program will feature Igor Stravinsky’s Ebony Concerto written for Woody Herman and his big-band The Thundering Herd, with Meadows faculty member and Dallas Symphony clarinetist Stephen Ahearn as soloist. The program will also include Warren Benson’s New Orleans jazz funeral piece Dawn’s Early Light and Dmitri Shostakovich’s seldom-performed Jazz Suite No. 2. The concert will conclude with Blue Dawn into White Heat, by legendary Pulitzer Prizewinning composer and conductor Gunther Schuller. Purchase tickets at .
