完美体育官网 Artist Series Announces 2022-2023 Season

The 2022-2023 season promises to be an exciting line-up of great entertainment for all ages opening September 8, 2022 with THE QUEEN鈥橲 CARTOONISTS. The Queen鈥檚 Cartoonists play music from classic cartoons and contemporary animation. The performances are synchronized to video projections of the original films, and the band leads the audience through a world of virtuosic musicianship, multi-instrumental mayhem, and comedy. Behind the project is a single question: is it possible to create jazz and classical music in the 21st century that appeals to everyone? Even people who normally wouldn鈥檛 go to concerts? The Queen鈥檚 Cartoonists present a concert for everybody - regardless of age, gender, or familiarity with the concert hall. Tying this diverse concert together are comedic anecdotes involving the cartoons and their composers. The band is on a musical mission of equal parts performance, preservation, and education. Expect the unexpected from repertoire that in颅cludes the Golden Age of animation, cult cartoon classics, modern animation, and elements of a musical circus!
