Empire Wild, a dynamic crossover ensemble of Juilliard-trained musicians, presents an exhilarating program blending classical foundations with jazz, folk, pop, and more. This genre-defying performance includes George Gershwin’s lively and charming "‘S Wonderful," Claude Debussy’s playful and impressionistic "Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum," and Chick Corea’s vibrant and rhythmic "Armando’s Rhumba." The trio also explores Taro Hakase’s passionate "Jounetsu Tairiku" and Friedrich August Kummer’s expressive "Duet for Two Cellos, Opus 22, No. 1." Led by cellists Ken Kubota and Mitchell Lyon, the ensemble employs innovative techniques, transforming the cello into a versatile and powerful voice. With intricate bow work, percussive rhythms, and virtuosic pizzicato, they breathe fresh life into each composition. The program also showcases original works, such as "Taconic" and "For Chiaki – North Beat," highlighting the musicians' unique and eclectic sound. Additional contemporary pieces include the soulful "Julie-O" by Mark Summer and the energetic "The Boxing Reels" by Jeremy Kittel, rounding out an electrifying and diverse musical experience.
