Vance Gilbert “If Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had a love child, with Rodney Dangerfield as the midwife, the results might be something close to the great Vance Gilbert", says Richmond Magazine.

Considered by many to be an integral part of the national folk scene - and one of the originators of the finally recognized R&B/Folk/Jazz crossover-sub-genre - this Boston-based stalwart was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. In 1992, Shawn Colvin invited him to be special guest on her Fat City tour. “With the voice of an angel, the wit of a devil, and the guitar playing of a god...”, swooned The Fort Worth Star-Telegram about one of those shows.

 Consider the first half of this program its own “mechanical symphony!” A sonic palette that celebrates humans in motion, the repertoire includes works by contemporary composer Stefan Thompson on the hustle and bustle of tourists in his native Bahamas, the machinistic whirs of Russian iron and steel factories as wrought by Alexander Mosolov and Sergei Prokofiev, and the chugging, churning charm of 20th century land travel through the imaginations of Arthur Honegger and John Adams. In the second half, four pulsing strokes of the timpani transition us from the composed clamor of machines to Beethoven’s broad and lyrical Violin Concerto, featuring guest violinist Nathan Amaral.

THOMPSON – Jitneys and Cruiseships
MOSOLOV – Iron Foundry
HONEGGER – Pacific 231
PROKOFIEV – The Steel Step Suite
ADAMS – Short Ride in a Fast Machine
BEETHOVEN – Violin Concerto

Special Guest: Nathan Amaral, violin
