SUMMARY:The Mavericks – Moon & Stars Summer Tour ‘24
DESCRIPTION:Any band that manages to survive three decades\, seeing its core members go from young adults to veteran musicians is bound to have its swings and cycles. \nThe Mavericks\, the eclectic rock and country group known for crisscrossing musical boundaries with abandon\, has gone through three distinct phases since it was founded in Miami in 1989. An initial period of heady success marked by big hits and critical acclaim in the ‘90s. A long hiatus starting 2003 when the musicians each went their own way. And finally\, a triumphant reunion in 2012 which held long enough for them to recently celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary.

BACH: Brandenburg Concerto No. 5\, BWV 1050 \nMahan Esfahani\, harpsichord\nMahan Esfahani has established himself as the first harpsichordist in a generation whose work spans virtually all areas of classical music-making from critically-acclaimed performances and recordings of the standard repertoire to working with the leading composers of the day to pioneering concerto appearances with major symphony orchestras on four continents. He was the first and only harpsichordist to be a BBC New Generation Artist (2008-2010)\, a Borletti-Buitoni prize winner (2009)\, and a nominee for Gramophone’s Artist of the Year (2014\, 2015\, 2017.

SUMMARY:Kenny G
DESCRIPTION:That’s not necessarily a revelation\, but more like a huge understatement\, and it really comes into focus at this point in Kenny’s amazing career. This is a musician who has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide\, owns the best-selling instrumental record of all time with 1992’s 12-times-platinum Breathless\, has the number one Christmas record of all time with 1994’s 8- times platinum Miracles\, and whose song “Going Home” has\, improbably\, become the official end-of-work-day anthem in China. At the heart of those achievements is Kenny’s ability to convey deep emotional resonance with his saxophone\, a skill never more apparent than on Innocence\, his 20th studio album and fifth for Concord Records. \nThe 12-track project’s theme is lullabies\, which have existed for thousands of years not only as a means of soothing babies to sleep but also to impart cultural and familial traditions. “Lullabies are very special to me\,” says Kenny\, who has been mulling an album with this musical focus for several years and even mentioned the idea in passing in Penny Lane’s acclaimed 2021 HBO documentary on him\, Listening to Kenny G. “They hold a special place in my heart. It’s the melodies. They are beautiful and timeless and whenever I hear them\, wonderful memories start rushing back to me.”
