In the Lounge Carrolling: The Lewis Carroll Project Bruce Lazarus
About This Show
Carrolling: The Lewis Carroll Project, is a cabaret/theater performance featuring singers/actors and a pianist. It celebrates the wit, loopy logic, love of mathematics, and admiration for the world of children expressed in Lewis Carroll’s poetry. About half the poems were adapted from the universally loved Alice books, but the rest comes from less familiar works, such as Sylvia and Bruno, Rhyme and Reason, Tangled Tales, and The Game of Logic.
Featured on the October 23 performance will be The Jabberwocky Opera, Carrolling’s eight-minute centerpiece that was never before performed in front of a live audience.
About the Artist
New York City composer and pianist Bruce Lazarus characterizes his music as diverse, concise, architectural, contemporary, and in turn meditative, energetic, humorous, moody, and exuberant. His works have often been inspired by the poems of Lewis Carroll, and decades of involvement in the worlds of theater and dance. The CD of his major cycle for solo piano,Musical Explorations of the Messier Catalogue of Star Clusters and Nebulae (Comcon0014/Naxos), is available online at iTunes, Amazon, B&N, and other venues. Lazarus studied at Juilliard where he earned his B.M. and M.M. in music composition.
