Seattle Modern Orchestra: Darius Jones – World Premiere [LIVE]
$10
Darius Jones – New work TBA (world premiere)
Additional works TBA
Our fifth concert returns to the artistic collaboration between SMO and experimental saxophonist and composer, Darius Jones. After the powerful performance of his LawNOrder last fall as part of the Earshot Jazz festival, where SMO’s performance was described as “delectable, eclectic” by Paul de Barros in Downbeat magazine, we will continue our musical partnership by commissioning a brand new work for SMO. Jones’ music embraces individuality and innovation in the tradition of African-American music, and is at times dramatic commentary on social justice and American politics. This new work will coincide with May Day and represent the voices of the people.
The livestream will take place at 7:30pm Pacific. Broadcasting live from The Royal Room, Seattle, WA.
Ticket receipt will include the link and passcode to the Crowdcast Digital Stage for this performance.
