SUMMARY:Performance:Etienne Charles | Earth Tones
DESCRIPTION:Trinidad-born jazz musician\, composer\, and storyteller Etienne Charles continuously searches for untold stories and the sounds with which to tell them.\n\nHis lush trumpet sound\, varied compositional textures\, and pulsating percussive grooves soothe and excite listeners while referencing thought-provoking and challenging subjects in his music. His illuminating San Juan Hill: A New York Story was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic to open David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center\, cementing his reputation for creating meaningful multimedia works that connect music with place and history. Earth Tones\, which receives its world premiere in April 2024\, is a multimedia jazz performance featuring original compositions that draw attention to people and regions that are\, or soon will be\, severely affected by climate change.\n\nThe performance invites us into a sensory journey that includes sounds\, stories\, and musical idioms from at-risk coastal communities\, with images and short films of disappearing mangrove swamps\, coral reefs\, oyster beds\, seagrass\, sand dunes\, and mud volcanoes. Featuring musicians from the very communities most at risk\, the performance balances blunt reality\, eternal optimism\, and surrealism\, ultimately offering an exhortation to address climate change’s impact on our future.\n\nFeatured Artists:\nEtienne Charles\, music director\, trumpet\, and percussion\nMarcus Strickland\, woodwinds\nWarren Wolf\, vibraphone\, marimba\, and piano\nEva Scow\, mandolin\nJorge Glem\, cuatro\nJonathon Muir-Cotton\, bass\nVal Jeanty\, turntables and percussion\nJohn Davis\, drums
