Night Music: Donal Fox's Inventions in Blue

Fluency across genres, ravishing technique, and a vast repertoire define the innovative amalgam of Guggenheim Fellow Donal Fox's acclaimed work as a composer and pianist. Deftly blending, deconstructing, and summoning forth the music of Bach, Piazolla, Schumann, Monk, Coltrane, Handel, and Radiohead among others, Fox expertly fuses jazz, Afro-Latin, and classical idioms into compelling live performances that are "unique and utterly commanding" (The Boston Globe). In Inventions in Blue, audiences will relish Fox's glorious improvisational flights up close, seated on stage in the round in the splendor of the Foellinger Great Hall.

This performance will last approximately one hour and 15 minutes with no intermission.
