In collaboration with GRAND PIANO SERIES
In this Narrative Musicale, Konstantin Soukhovetski traces Beethoven’s surprising influence on the American musical imagination — from Scott Joplin’s ragtime to the birth of boogie-woogie.
How does a rhythm, a gesture, or a harmonic cadence travel across the Atlantic and reappear a century later in an entirely new world? You’ll find out. Improvisation abounds as this multimedia performance reveals hidden musical connections across time, geography, and culture.
American music emerges as a quintessential expression of the New World — vibrant, multicultural, rebellious, and original — while the Old World reveals itself as an unexpected laboratory for musical disruption.
