On The Point, an hour of great American music. First, Artistic Director and Conductor of the Cape Cod Symphony Jung Ho Pak joins us to discuss American composers whose work is considered groundbreaking. The Symphony’s American Mavericks Concert features Leonard Bernstein, Philip Glass and John Adams.
Later in the hour, we hear about the music of the famous Cotton Club. Dubbed the “Aristocrat of Harlem”, the Cotton Club’s all-white patrons included British royalty and American celebrities, but it was the African American performers who made the Cotton Club famous in the 20’s and 30’s. Robert Wyatt brings us a selection of music from favorite jazz entertainers who graced the Cotton Club Stage.
American Mavericks will be performed by the Cape Symphony directed by Jung Ho Pak on Saturday May 5 at 7:30 PM, and Sunday May 6 at 3:00 PM.
Robert Wyatt will present a lecture and recital on the Cotton Club at Highfield Hall on May 3rd from 7:00 to 9:00 PM.
