MUSE/IQUE: The Duke
Through his music, Duke Ellington made an old world new. The man known for his revolutionary fusion of jazz and classical not only gave America its signature sound, but he also lifted countless voices into our shared cultural conversation. Through rousing song and dance, we illuminate Ellington's ingenuity that shines in our lives even today. With soaring performances of Ellington classics like "Satin Doll" and "Take The A Train", the superlative Sy Smith and the MUSE/IQUE orchestra will have you moving your feet and imagining new possibilities. Plus, a magical performance of Ellington's The Nutcracker Suite, jazz interpretations of the original by Tchaikovsky, by dancers Herman Cornejo and Skylar Brandt.
