MOONDOG: On The Keys is a concert features piano works, vocal canons, and other songs by the maverick composer Moondog performed by trimbist/vocalist Julian Calv, pianist Alex Stewart, and vocalist/percussionist Sarah Penna. 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. A sound thought of as hypnotic, cyclical, baroque, primitive, and engaging. 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.
Joining the ensemble is organist Gavin Black, and vocalist Emma Bockrath. Gavin Black will be performing a selection of solo organ compositions throughout the set. He will also join the ensemble for a selection of vocal rounds.
