The Musical Instrument Museum busts stereotypes of classical music when it presents MusicaNova Orchestra's “Dead Elvis and Other Gems” in Phoenix.
The program is full of playfulness, general silliness, a few surprises, and a great deal of nose-thumbing at pretension and stuffiness, according to a MusicNova press release. Grammy winning composer Michael Daugherty’s “Dead Elvis” is a show in which MusicaNova Orchestra’s principal bassoonist Kristilyn Woods dons the sequined jumpsuit and plays the “Dies Irae,” the medieval Latin chant for the day of judgment, while a small ensemble riffs on rock and roll motifs.
The show takes place at 6 p.m. Sunday, March 24 at Musical Instrument Museum, 4725 E. Mayo Blvd.
The concert also features the orchestra’s Kristin Fray and Anthony Masiello in a rare double concerto for clarinets, the “Three Gymnopedies,” that helped establish Peggy Glanville-Hicks as a leading 20th century composer; and the sixth of Haydn’s 12 London symphonies, which ends with a pleasant surprise.
Tickets range from $33.50 to $38.50 and are available at mim.org.
