NYC: ONE NIGHT ONLY - PWR UNPLUGGED
Parker Scott leads PWR - a new chamber ensemble featuring voice, piano and cello atSHETLER STUDIOS PENTHOUSE 1 (244 West 54th Street, 12th Floor, NYC - RSVP: 917-929-7353) on Sunday, April 14th at 7:30 pm. PWE, made up of Parker, pianist Wells Hanley and cellist Rubin Kodheli, will bring their virtuosic musicianship and unbridled passion to NO EXPECTATIONS: Unplugged. PWR will present a show encompassing the musical landscapes of theater, pop, rock, standards and international favorites. The show will be performed without microphones. Inspired by the organic, raw, naturally spontaneous sounds reverberating through the rehearsal room, PWR aims to recreate the special aural thrill of the rehearsal process without amplification for the audience in an intimate studio setting, allowing the voice, the piano and the cello to listen and respond to each other in a more subtle and creative way. NO EXPECTATIONS (from the Rolling Stones hit) will explore the complexities of love and passion - the twists, the joys and the pains that come with putting your heart and soul on the line. It will include music by Cole Porter, Jimmy Webb, Ricky Ian Gordon, John Bucchino and Jacques Brel. The centerpiece of the show is The Waltz Medley which has music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics from his three major collaborators, Lorenz Hart, Oscar Hammerstein and Stephen Sondheim. Parker, Wells and Rubin will also go to the streets of Paris for inspiration in the songs of Edith Piaf. There will be several arrangements for voice, piano and cello by the late Dick Gallagher. The show is directed by Bistro Award-winning and MAC-nominated director, Gerry Geddes. There is a $20 music charge. There is NO minimum. Wine and Soda will be available for a small donation.copyright 2011-13 - See cabaret listings from all over the world at CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE - YOU ARE WELCOME TO POST YOUR COMMENTS BELOW
