A Tribute to Bach - Classical Jazz
The Piano presents, A Tribute to... Celebrate the joy of live music in a one-hour concert series.
Classical Jazz Quartet: Cathy Irons (violin), Barry Brinson (piano), Dougal Canard (double bass) and Doug Brush (drums).
French jazz pianist, Jacques Loussier was captivated by Johann Sebastian Bach's music as a child after hearing a piece from the Anna Magdalena Notebook.
“I was so fascinated with the way Bach used that theme and his harmonies that I played it once, then 10 times, then 20 times...The more I played it, the more I wanted to explore it further.”
Classical Jazz Quartet consists of four outstanding Christchurch musicians, friends of Christchurch Symphony Orchestra first violinist, Cathy Irons.
Each a recognised musician in their own field, the four musicians revel in getting together, ignoring convention and freely crossing the boundaries of music with conviction and delight. All have extensive NZ and international experience.
Described as “sonic fireworks that dazzle with all their brilliance” and “characterized by inspirational musicianship,” the Classical Jazz Quartet bring you a concert that will keep you smiling into the weeks ahead.
