Lisa Sangita Moskow brings her personal global quest for musical expression to Cyprian's in this special performance. Lisa plays the sarod, a multi-stringed lute from North India. She trained with North Indian maestro Ali Akbar Kahn for 15 years to refine her use of the sarod and combine it with vocals. At Cyprian's, Moskow teams with pianist Lawrence Ball whose music bridges classical composition with electronic and computer-generated expressions. Ball collaborates with Pete Townsend and The Who. Moskow and Ball have performed at several Planet Tree Festivals in London, the last one begin at Pete Townshend's studio. A live recording of the duo performing Kali Spirit is available here, anda few selections of Ball's music is available here.

CD Release Concert & Celebration

Tango No. 9 

Saturday, July 30, 8pm

"Critically acclaimed Tango No. 9 is back with their 4th album, recorded live at the Chapel of the Chimes. It features Astor Piazzolla's rarely recorded, austere compositions like "Coral," "Novitango," and "El Gordo Triste," demonstrating the cooler side to the fiery image of tango, while losing none of its rhythmic excitement. Tango No. 9 commingles traditional tango elements with classical counterpoint, wild jazz improvisation with modern tango, from Piazzolla to Kurt Weill, creating tango Nuevo with a unique American twist.

 

"Heat and cool. Departures and arrivals. Life and death. Tango No. 9 's new CD, "Live at the Columbarium," expresses them all."
