ESTHER & HOLLANDOn Monday 5/13, 7PM, at East Village Arts, fiddler Esther Morgan-Ellis and banjoist Holland Hopson present original tunes that push the boundaries of old-time music. Georgia-based Morgan-Ellis and Hopson embrace the tradition of ‘crooked’ tunes with a set of their own works that stretch the soundworld of southern Appalachian music.
About the Festival:
The Birmingham Art Music Alliance (BAMA) announces the 10th Anniversary BIRMINGHAM NEW MUSIC FESTIVAL, seven concerts between May 5-13, 2024. This year’s festival presents a wide range of music by Alabama composers including solo piano, four chamber music ensembles, choral music, live electronics, improvised music, and new takes on Appalachian folk music. The festival will take place at Birmingham First United Methodist Church, East Village Arts, Samford University's Brock Recital Hall, and UAB's Hulsey Recital Hall. All concerts are free. The festival was implemented in 2014 to further BAMA's mission of promoting music by Alabama composers and presenting concerts of recently created art music to communities in Birmingham. The 2024 festival honors two composers who died in 2023, Joe L. Alexander and Ed Robertson. Our guest composer is New York City-based Robert Voisey, who founded the 60X60 and Fifteen Minutes of Fame projects.
