The NEC Jazz Orchestra, led by Ken Schaphorst, presents the first concert of their season and the first event in NEC’s celebration of Ives’s 150th birthday.
Charles Ives was actively composing at the same time that jazz was first recognized as a uniquely American music. And Ives's music shares many of the same influences, including marches, ragtime and American popular songs. The NEC Jazz Orchestra will make these connections clear in their performances of new arrangements by Ken Schaphorst of Ives’s most celebrated compositions, including Three Places New England, A Set for Theatre Orchestra and Ragtime Dance No. 4.
