Pianist and composer Euan Stevenson and saxophonist Konrad Wiszniewski are two of the UK’s leading musicians, with achievements on both sides of the Atlantic and experience in pop and classical music as well as jazz.
Their project ‘The Classical Connection’ has earned five-star reviews for its exploration of the common ground shared by classical composers and jazz musicians. In this superbly well-informed, entertaining and informal presentation Euan and Konrad improvise a Bach-style reinvention and an arrangement of the Duke Ellington Orchestra’s theme tune, Take the A Train, in the style of a Mozart Sonata.
Audiences will discover why romantic composers like Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Duke Ellington all loved the same key. You will also learn why Miles Davis and Eric Satie were kindred spirits, and hear brilliantly performed jazz standards and original compositions.
