Tide Pools (Jazz)

Tide Pools plays the Blockhouse for Jazz Night on Wednesday, October 13. Two sets at 7:00 and 8:30pm.
Tide Pools is Hannah Marks (bass), Connor Parks (drums), and Alfredo Colon (alto saxophone). Along with their self-penned compositions, the trio’s repertoire reflects a diversity of influences from an Appalachian folk tune to songs by free jazz pioneers Ornette Coleman and Paul Motian to a jingle from a Dominican rum commercial. Water is a running theme throughout the group, as evidenced by the churning swirl of an “anti-soloist” agenda and their free-flowing musical leader roles.
Tide Pools has presented livestream concerts for The Jazz Gallery, SEEDS:BK, Civic Music Association, Merrimans’ Playhouse, and My Invisible City. All three members are active in the New York City music scene regularly performing at venues like The Jazz Gallery, Birdland, the Blue Note, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. Their individual festival appearances include Hyde Park Jazz Festival, Newport Jazz Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, Afropunk, and the Detroit Jazz festival.

Bloomington Symphony Orchestra presents: Wade in the Water – Exploring Florence Price’s 4th Symphony

Join the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra for Wade in the Water as we share the Indiana premiere of Florence Price’s Symphony No. 4 in D minor. Included in the program is a guest appearance by tenor, scholar, and cultural activist Dr. Marquese Carter (www.marquesecarter.com) who will perform and share insights on Price’s art songs, expand on her historical context, the renaissance of her music in the last few years, and address why her music and that of other composers of color have been historically overlooked. Written in 1945, Price’s 4th Symphony has only been performed a few times since its 2018 premiere. Help raise awareness for one of the most important musical voices in the United States, and be one of the few people to experience the piece live!
There will be time for Q&A.
