The Duke of Cello: Duke Ellington’s Jazz Nutcracker
December 10, 7:00 PM
In 1960 Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn rewrote Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker in the language of jazz. Trevor Fitzpatrick leads this version with an unusual lineup: six cellos and drums. Melodies familiar since childhood take on Ellington’s rhythmic edge. A holiday evening for those who love both Tchaikovsky and jazz.
