On the first half of the program, Open Classical director Mark Landson and other composers reimagine classical favorites from Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and other greats as jazz pieces, played by a combo of stellar local talent, including Damon K. Clark on vocals, Marek Eneti (Light Crust Doughboys) on violin, Michael Nesuda (The Obscure Dignitaries) on guitar, and Jonathan Fisher on bass.
On the second half of the program, internationally known Polish jazz vocalist Grazyna Auguscik and her band perform jazz arrangements of Chopin and other Polish classical composers, plus some selections from her catalog, including her renditions of songs by Nick Drake.
