Two dynamic composers create an afternoon combining free improvisation and compositions by each. Shaw Pong Liu (violin) engages communities in conversations through musical collaboration. Her work has addressed birdsong and healing, sunlight and warmth, healing and homicide, racism, and the police. Brian Friedland (piano) writes music that reflects his love of collaboration and musical diversity.
This is part of the Eliot Schoolyard Concert Series, 15 live events, Sundays at 4pm, June through September in the Eliot Schoolyard, 24 Eliot Street, Jamaica Plain. For this opening concert of the series, ice cream is provided by JP Licks.
