Marimbist Mika Stoltzman and Clarinetist Richard Stoltzman Play Carnegie Hall, 5/30

World renowned artists Mika and Richard Stoltzman return to Carnegie Hall for their much anticipated New Genre! Part 2 concert featuring eight world premiere works written and/or arranged specifically for them. Attracted by the multifarious, genre-busting artistry of premier jazz marimbist Mika Stoltzman, today's most revered composers and performers gather for this special one-night only occasion. Program highlights include: the world premieres of The Nymphs for Solo Marimba by John Zorn and Burning Bright by William Thomas McKinley; works by Steve Reich and Bill Douglas; special guest artists including the Harlem String Quartet and vocalist Gayle Moran Corea, to name a few; and a robust dedication to Chick Corea featuring six of his pieces including his 2013 Grammy award-winning work Mozart Goes Dancing.

While the headliners are best known as classical musicians, they play and record compositions by jazz luminaries such as Keith Jarrett, Mike Mainieri, and Chick Corea. "Mika's authentic take on the marimba serves as a milestone," explains Richard. "Her multifarious playing builds a bridge between drums and piano and strings, and similarly between jazz, classical, pop and folk music. Mika proved at last year's concert New Genre! Part 1 that the marimba is truly genre-busting." This year, we're stretching the instrument's capabilities even further by collaborating with established ensembles, artists and even a vocalist."
