Follow on Google News | Caramoor's Second Annual Fall FestivalOur second annual fall festival features Bill Frisell, Patti LuPone, Yo Yo Ma & The Knights September 24 – October 3, 2010
By: Cohn Dutcher - Whitney Holden 917.339.7188, wholde A three-day affair in its inaugural year, the Fall Festival has been expanded to a two-weekend celebration for 2010. Bill Frisell, Patti LuPone, and Yo-Yo Ma with The Knights will perform September 24, 25 and 26, respectively. The following weekend, Caramoor hosts a benefit evening – “Soirée at the Rosen House” – on October 2, and an all-Mozart chamber music concert entitled “The Future is Now” on October 3, featuring young musicians from Caramoor’s mentoring programs. BILL FRISELL TRIO - SEPTEMBER 24, 8:00PM IN THE SPANISH COURTYARD Unclassifiable, eclectic, unique and omnivorous, Bill Frisell has crafted an approach to improvisation that has made him, since the late ‘80s, one of the most revered guitarists in jazz and American music. Constantly exploring and conjuring worlds of sound, Frisell, along with his trio – bassist Tony Scherr and percussionist Rudy Royston – and his free use of electronic effects seamlessly woven into improvisations, launches the Fall Festival into orbit. PATTI LUPONE “THE GYPSY IN MY SOUL” - SEPTEMBER 25, 8:00PM IN THE VENETIAN THEATER The Gypsy in My Soul is the newest solo concert by Broadway legend Patti LuPone. In this show, the two-time Tony Award winner sings songs that have been associated with her Broadway career (from such shows as Gypsy, Anything Goes, Evita and Oliver!) as well as some of her personal pop favorites. It’s Broadway’s greatest diva singing songs from her life, both on and off the stage. FAMILY CONCERT WITH THE KNIGHTS AND A SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE BY YO-YO MA - SEPTEMBER 26, 1:00PM IN THE VENETIAN THEATER This joyous, interactive one-hour concert will be an inspiration for the entire family; and with a very special guest appearance by Yo-Yo Ma, kids will have the opportunity to meet a living legend! Join host Katie Kresek, Caramoor’s Family Program Designer, as she guides audiences through an electrifying journey featuring a spectrum of masterpieces from the great composers of the past to today’s most dynamic musical explorers. The Knights, a young and exciting ensemble from the new Brooklyn arts scene, provide a great introduction to live music and the instruments and sounds of the orchestra. Recommended for children ages 5 and up. YO-YO MA WITH THE KNIGHTS - SEPTEMBER 26, 4:30PM IN THE VENETIAN THEATER Both a household name and a classical music icon, Yo-Yo Ma is welcomed everywhere in the world for his generous humanity, peerless virtuosity and musical imagination. His visits to Caramoor, dating from the earliest years of his career, have always been special events and occasions of exceptional audience delight. In this concert he will be joined by The Knights Chamber Orchestra – a chamber orchestra of young colleagues with whom he enjoys close collaborations in the Silk Road Project – and conductor Eric Jacobson. The program comprises The Unanswered Question by Ives; Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 33 by Saint-Saëns; The Knights are a fellowship of adventurous musicians that expands the orchestral concert experience with diverse programming, innovative formats, and a unique atmosphere of camaraderie that creates the intimacy and immediacy of chamber music. Based in NYC, The Knights perform under the baton of Eric Jacobsen in a variety of concert venues, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Tonic, the Brooklyn Lyceum, Le Poisson Rouge, Celebrate Brooklyn, Baryshnikov Arts Center, Central Park, Mass MoCA, and the Whitney Museum. Also in demand on the international stage, they have appeared at the Dresden Musikfestspiele, the National Gallery in Dublin, and they will tour Germany in the fall of 2010 with cellist Jan Vogler.
