New Focus: The Classical Connection

Award-winning pianist Euan Stevenson and saxophonist Konrad Wiszniewski give fascinating insights into the relationship between classical music and jazz.

In this superb, informal presentation two of the UK’s leading jazz musicians improvise a Bach-style reinvention and an arrangement of the Duke Ellington Orchestra’s theme tune, Take the A Train in the style of a Mozart Sonata.

Discover why romantic composers like Chopin, Rachmaninov and Duke Ellington favoured the same key. Learn why Miles Davis and Erik Satie were kindred spirits and hear brilliantly performed jazz standards and original compositions from Stevenson and Wiszniewski’s acclaimed recordings.
