Folk Music Reimagined

Part performance, part lecture, go deeper into the creation of some of your favorite pieces with Musicfest Informances.

Enjoy a late-morning Jazz revue and exploration of classic folk tunes, specially arranged and performed by Union32! Traditional folk music often relies on clear, simple rhythms and straightforward harmonies; we’ll take some of those great melodies and choruses and arrange them for Jazz quintet. Enjoy Bill Evans’ version of “Danny Boy” below, and take a listen to a Union32 arrangement of the Rolling Stones as well!

Bill Evans – Danny Boy

Union32 – Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’
