For this New Sounds program, we’ll hear music inspired by composer Henry Purcell (1659-1695), including the singing alien camp theatrics of Klaus Nomi. Nomi performs Henry Purcell's "The Cold Song" from the semi-opera “King Arthur” and there's also Jeremy Peyton Jones' early reworking of Purcell trio sonatas, called “Purcell Manoeuvres.” Plus, music from Phil Kline, Robert Moran, percussionist/composer Areski Hamitouche, and more.

THANK YOU!!! Hearing these pieces by Purcell which I so cherish in different and contemporary idioms has been a rare pleasure. I just love New Sounds and this particular show reminds me of the high standards of excellence and innovation which it exemplifies.
