Jeff Pitchell: An internationally acclaimed dynamic singer, songwriter and guitarist, Jeff achieved national recognition when his album Heavy Hitter (Pyramid Records/EMI) reached #7 on the Billboard Charts, outselling Delbert McClinton, Robert Cray, Etta James, Johnny Lee Hooker & Muddy Waters. Jeff has recorded with such greats as J Geils, Rick Derringer, Dave Mason, James Cotton and Clarence Clemons. He received international recognition when he toured Europe, even playing with the Commitments as a special guest. 

The concert begins in Australia with Percy Grainger’s Children’s March. The subtitle Over the Hills and Far Away is an ambiguous location where the composer is destined to find his sweetheart. Grainger then takes us to the county of Lincolnshire, on the east coast of England. In Lincolnshire, in the early 1900′s, Grainger recorded folksingers and assembled his iconic collection Lincolnshire Posy. After intermission, Morton Gould reminds us that the only place a soldier wants to be is home. His American Salute is a clever twist on the American Civil War song When Johnny Comes Marching Home. Gould then transports us to the biblical town of Jericho where we can actually hear the walls "come tumblin’ down." 

Next, Julie Giroux brings us to a fictional video game universe where Riften is a city in Skyrim located in the expansive world of The Elder Scrolls. Finally, we return to Earth and Belgrade, Serbia where composer Ante Grgin is the principal clarinetist of the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra. Be prepared for the unbelievably dynamic performance of Grgin’s Concertino for Clarinet by the phenomenal clarinetist Charlie Suriyakham! Enjoy the journey.
