We're all Marxists now
No, not the improbably influential 19th century political philosopher but the bespectacled music critic at the Tennessean Jonathan Marx who graciously previewed this weekend's NCO concerts in yesterday's newspaper. The money quote:
To stay true to his own cross-pollinating sensibilities, [Music Director Paul] Gambill came up with a diverse program to flesh out the evening. In addition to songs by [Stevie] Wonder, the chamber orchestra will play several gospel selections, gypsy jazz numbers featuring artist-in-residence John Jorgenson, excerpts from an original work by frequent collaborator Don Hart and a world premiere by Nashville-based electric violinist Tracy Silverman — a skillful musician who knows all about breaking down musical boundaries.
