Wide Open Works (WOW)
FREE - RSVP Read moreSunday, November 14, 2021 – 7:30-10pm
Connection Works, a leader in artist-run organizations, presents the next concert of the critically acclaimed music series Wide Open Works, now in its 15th season.
Neal Kirkwood’s 16-piece ensemble, featuring New York’s crème de la crème of jazz musicians, was formed in 2012. The ensemble’s repertoire centers around Kirkwood’s vast catalog of compositions, with forays into the music of Gil Evans, Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. Kirkwood’s compositions draw from Duke Ellington’s melodic, harmonically rich music. Other influences include Gil Evans, Igor Stravinsky, and Bela Bartok. Music critic Tim Page describes Kirkwood’s music as “simultaneously modernist and immediately appealing: lyrical, gracious and rhapsodic in character.”
The cost of admission is $20. Tickets will be sold at the door.

To prepare, Brooklyn Conservatory Chorale Director Nick Nicassio will help lead the group in a warm-up from 2pm-2:30pm and then split up to wander and carol from 2:30pm-3:30pm. We will divide into separate groups for family music and for four-part madrigals, so there will be something to sing for everyone! The reception in the BKCM Garden will take place from 3:30 – 4:30pm.
