STEWART COPELAND

I saw this at the website for Stewart's agent at:

[quote]Stewart Copeland, the artist who innovated the world of rock drumming, joins forces with pianist Jon Kimura Parker in a new chamber music project that will feature Copeland’s engaging compositions and Parker’s brilliant arrangements of Stravinsk y’s Rite of Spring, along with other works. This is chamber music for a new generation who will be in awe of Parker’s incredible virtuosity and Copeland’s instantly recognizable drumming. The performance includes piano, violin, cello and drums and will also feature Judd Miller, the extraordinary proponent of the EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument), who will use the EVI to add a collage of brass, wind and electronic sounds. Both Jon Kimura Parker and Stewart Copeland will welcome the opportunity to discuss this exciting new collaboration with audiences and students. This will be an evening of cutting edge chamber music that is propulsive, witty and entirely unique.[/quote]

This "evening of cutting edge chamber music" appears to be a program that can be scheduled by a festival, orchestra, school, etc., but has not seemingly been scheduled. Somone make this evening happen, please.

Judd Miller worked on many of Stewart's movie soundtracks.

Yes, please someone make this happen somewhere easily accessible to the nutters, preferablly in the latter half of 2014 since I have to spend the first half saving up for the Drum Concerto in Liverpool. I have been wanting to see something like this where Stewart and Judd Miller, who has probably performed on his EVI on over half of Stewart's film scores, will hopefully share the same stage for a long time and I would love to see it in person.

Oo, oo, what conroy said.
Ok so you will have been in beautiful Virginia in April-why not in beautiful Blue Ridge region of The Commonwealth in Fall?

Go to Liverpool ...

I would but it would mean missing the one still big and profitable convention I work every year. So it really depends on how money looks leading up to it.

Don't forget Nine Inch Nails is playing in Manchester on the 25th at the Phone4U Arena <arm twisting>.

There are three concert dates now known for this project to be performed by Stewart and Parker:

March 6, 2015 Austin Texas

March 8, 2015 Rohnert Park, California (North of San Francisco)

March 25, 2015 Lawrence Kansas

Someone needs to bring this to the East Coast!!!! Please!!!!

(That said, it's quite likely I will go to the Rohnert Park show. I have friends who live not far away I'm long overdue on visiting for a few days, so it might be the extra incentive to get out there.)

Kansas? Kansas? We are not in Kansas (anymore).

According to this youtube video, there will be a performance at Clowes Memorial Hall in Indianapolis (hello, Indygirl) on Friday, March 27, 2015. The hall is on the campus of Butler University (my brother's alma mater).

Hi, Nick. Thanks for posting the information. I plan on going.

That sounds very interesting...I may think about it...

According to Jon Kimura Parker's website, the he and Stewart will perform in Toronto on May 23, 2015, as part of the Royal Conservatory of Music 21C Festival.

http://www.jonkimuraparker.com/schedule ... -schedule/

The songs listed for the now 5 performances on Parker's schedule include Birds of Prey, Grace, Celeste, but Darkness isn't listed.

Ben Hur Chicago has unfortunately been "out" for me for a while, but March in Austin or this in Indy late March is looking mo' better. Either way, very exciting!
