Todd Reynolds, the most-up-to-date violinist and composer around, and also co-founder of the revolutionary string quartet, Ethel, brings us a line-up that defies style and genre: Nuove Uova: New Works for Violin and Electricity. The musicians coming to Staller are not only a chamber music group--they’re a band, contemporary, hip and passionate. Together with Percussionist David Cossin, Vocalist Theo Bleckmann and others, Reynolds will weave together current music composed within the last three years by himself, Ingram Marshall, Phil Kline (recent CD-- “Zippo Songs: Airs of War and Lunacy”) and Michael Gordon. Nuove Uova: New Works for Violin and Electricity ís more a show than a concert, having been performed nationally and internationally in clubs as well as concert halls.
Todd Reynolds is a guest artist with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and is often featured as violin soloist and chamber musician with Bang On A Can All Stars. On Broadway, he originated the role of “The Fiddler,” playing and dancing on stage in the Tony Award-winning Broadway revival of Annie, Get Your Gun. He has been part of jazz singer Betty Buckley’s back-up band at Feinstein’s at the Regency.
Todd was a student of the late Jascha Heifetz, and a student at the Eastman School of Music. He received his master’s degree from Stony Brook University and played with the Rochester Philharmonic. Come hear these new works and enjoy classically trained musicians defy convention with chamber pop style.
