The Music of Jerome Kitzke
Music at First presents: The Music of Jerome Kitzke
A concert celebrating the pre-release of his new CD, The Paha Sapa Give-Back on the Innova Label and presenting the New York City premiere of an excerpt from Buffalo Nation (Bison bison), a theatrical musical historical survey of The Bison in North America with a libretto by Kathleen Masterson.
I have been highly connected to Kitzke’s Buffalo Nation, having engraved and edited the parts of this work (published through Peermusic Classical). On the 23rd I will be performing as part of the Sound Effects Chorus, a “herd” of vocalists/body percussionists. This piece is not to be missed! Also on the program is ETHEL and The Mad Coyote.
