Julian Calv & Moondog

About

Event links will be available soon. A concert featuring piano works, vocal canons, and other songs by the minimalist/neo-classical composer Moondog performed by trimbist/vocalist Julian Calv and his ensemble. Louis Hardin AKA Moondog composed music creating an unexpected link between the resurgent science of counterpoint, Arapaho, Navajo, Blackfoot, and Sioux rhythms and song forms, the art of jazz improvisation, and the beginnings of a repetitive and minimalist aesthetic. The concert spans Moondog’s career with selections from The Last Concert, Moondog: Piano Trimba, In Europe, A New Sound Of An Old Instrument, Moondog \(1956\); and includes background about the music from Julian- who studied with Moondog’s only student, Stefan Lakatos.
