Soloist and composer Corky Siegel performs his Symphonic Blues No 6; "A masterpiece of stunning proportions" - GOLDMINE MAGAZINE with the Millikin Decatur Symphony Orchestra and Maestro Matthew Sheppard conducting. A remarkable virtuoso, a refined musician with imagination … I would go as far as to call him a poet … The music he makes is like witnessing a miracle.” – La Presse – Montréal – Orchestre Symphonique De Montreal
WHY IS THIS A ONE TIME EXPERINECE: It's not a single composition, not a mix or a fusion or crossover but like two separate trains on parallel tracks maintaining their own unique character (blues and classical) don't combine but you get to experience the amazing relationships between them, taking you places you've never been before.
