ABOUT THE WORK
The world premiere of a new chamber opera. In 1939, jazz guitarist Charlie Christian joined Benny Goodman’s band for a landmark concert at Carnegie Hall that was a radical artistic and social statement for both men. The entire history of the electric guitar is carefully woven into the score. A Bradyworks production in co-presentation with Le Vivier and Chants libres.
