The Curtis Stewart Ensemble explores a space between era & style, creating dialogue between Western European, BeBop, Post Bop, Hip Hop & Contemporary Classical music. Curtis has been hailed by STRAD, Jazz Times & DownBeat magazines holding his audiences “spellbound” with his “warm clear sound….sparkling rhythmic energy”, “soulful improvisation” & “prodigious technique”. The aim of this project is to find the violin’s place not only in Classical music & Jazz, but as an instrumental “voice” in music from around the world & through time. This concert program will feature original compositions & songs exploring our conception of Time, Color, History & Love, as well as intricate arrangements of Jazz standards & music from the Classical cannon such as JS Bach, John Coltrane, Anton Webern & Outkast.
