Roots of Reeds: Tales of the Reed
5790 Armada Drive, Carlsbad, 92008
Cost: $15 - $20
In conjunction with the Museum of Making Music’s latest special exhibition, Roots of Reeds, the Museum presents Dr. A.J. Racy, Dr. David Borgo, Souhail Kaspar, and Rob Thorsen for a performance on reed instruments. The musicians will incorporate the sounds of reed instruments from the East Mediterranean region and modern jazz as they share the story of Middle-Eastern reeds.
Internationally acclaimed performer, composer, and professor of ethnomusicology at the University of California, Los Angeles, A.J. Racy will perform on a variety of ancient East Mediterranean reed and other instruments. Additionally, David Borgo and Rob Thorsen will perform a selection of Duke Ellington's “tone parallels” compositions on tenor and soprano saxophone.
