Set I
Curtis Stewart Trio - Cycles in Song:
Music of Bach, Brahms, Webern, Coltrane, Stewart, "Outkast," etc...

The Curtis Stewart Trio navigates classical, jazz, and hip hop through compositions that explore the textural and expressive connections between classical music and the "otherness." Jazz vocalist Nancy Harms, Blake Whyte of Mama Mia, opera singer Korin Kormick, and nationally lauded spoken word artist Darian Dauchan join the trio (Curtis Stewart, violin; Alex Hills Keys; Ian Baggette, Bass) for a set of songs that cycle through style and attempt to cultivate an inner connection between these seemingly disparate aesthetics. www.curtisjstewart.comwww.blakewhyte.com,www.nancyharms.comwww.dariandauchan.comwww.korinkormick.com
