![]() I am playing with the wonderful violinist Elise Parker. Together we are performing with David Gonzalez and his fabulous show "The Frog Bride" at the Children's Theatre. Frog Bride features all 5 movements of Prokofiev's music. They're really beautiful. Some are filled with jazz-like harmonies, some are longing for home, some are like a sun-filled day. It's amazing writing really especially how easily they seem to fit into the Frog Bride story. They're short pieces and the kids are totally enthralled with the music and with the amazing David Gonzalez. He magically opens a portal of energy creating a rich imaginative world filled with myriads of colorful characters. It's high art and it reaches all ages. Please come if you can! Date: January 12 - February 28, 2016. Place: Cargill Stage, Children's Theater, Minneapolis, MN Storyteller / Producer: David Gonzalez Composer: Sergei Prokofiev / Daniel Kelly Violin: Elise Parker Piano/Keyboard: Gregory Theisen UPDATE! I am also playing for Nautilus Music Theater - Rough Cuts "Bold In Their Breeches" on February 1st & 2nd. A new musical work-in-progress based on the true adventures of 18th-century female pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read, featuring Nautilus performers Laurel Armstrong, Ann Michels, Laurie Flanigan Hegge, Joel Liestman, Eric Morris, and Kym Chambers Otto, with musical direction by Greg Thiesen! |
