MUSIC FROM COPLAND HOUSE | SOUNDS OF WESTCHESTER
SUNDAY, APRIL 3, 2022 @ 4PM | $35/$45| A NEW RESIDENCY AT THE EMELIN
This event is the premiere of a three part concert series of the 'Music At Copland House' residency at the Emelin. Westchester has been home to one of the richest musical legacies in America, as generations of composers found inspiration and solace here. Music from Copland House's eclectic, entertaining program journeys across 100 years of music by Westchester natives or transplants, ranging widely from Gilded Age Romanticism to mid-century Modernist and neo-Stravinskian romps, and embracing the sounds of vibrant folk songs, British fifes, and languid ballads. You won't "hear" Westchester again in the quite same way again!

World-renowned guitarist and four-time GRAMMY nominee Stanley Jordan returns to the Emelin to channel the late, great Jimi Hendrix in his show called "Stanley Jordan Plays Jimi." This is a tribute show, but it's not pure imitation. Instead Stanley builds on Jimi's legacy in a myriad of creative ways. As Stanley explains it, "This is my fantasy Jimi Hendrix concert if Jimi were still alive and playing today. By re-imagining his music and channeling his persona I try to bring that fantasy to life."
