EOS: Journey

The EOS Project presents “Journey” Sunday, November 5, at the BMC. The 4 p.m. concert will feature compositions, songs and improvisations of Classical, Jazz, Aboriginal, and Native American music.

This unique and exciting program follows the journey of one musician along a diverse musical pathway which has included playing with symphony orchestras, exploring jazz, and performing children’s and family music with the famed RosenShontz duo.

The audience will “meet” some of the composers encountered over the years, including Marjorie Adams, Scott Joplin, Amy Beach, Carlos Nakai, Miles Davis, Cab Calloway, and Louis Armstrong, and be introduced to the influences of the Native American and Aboriginal musical traditions. The concert will feature a truly eclectic array of instruments including clarinets, recorders, voice, bass, percussion, piano and, didgeridoo.

Performers include BMC faculty members Bill Shontz, winds and voice, Becky Graber, piano, and Steve Rice, percussion; as well as Vermont Jazz Center faculty member Eugene Uman, piano, and retired Keene State College faculty Don Baldini, bass.
