Theo Bleckmann Performs Hello Earth! The Music of Kate Bush

14th November 2019 @ 7:30 pm

$16.00
Grammy nominated jazz singer and new music composer Theo Bleckmann takes on the mysterious songbook of British pop icon Kate Bush  in a project that goes beyond re-creating her music to further realms of sound and interpretation. Joining him in this venture are long-time collaborator percussionist Ben Wittman, bassist Chris Tarry, and keyboardist Henry Hey, along with special guest, multi-instrumentalist Caleb Burhans on viola, guitar, and laptop. Watch Theo Bleckmann perform Running Up That Hill and All the Love.

This season’s Bang on a Can performances celebrate the power of artists’ voices, which resonates with themes in the Museum’s exhibitions Edith Halpert and the Rise of American Art and Rachel Feinstein: Maiden, Mother, Crone.
