The Floating Lounge is a community-focused, online listening series produced by Spektral Quartet to bring curious listeners together during a time of isolation. Events will feature high-quality streaming audio, special guests, and an interactive format that invites listeners to join in on the conversation.
Wowzers do we have a treat for you. The illimitable George Lewis is joining us for this episode of the Floating Lounge listening party series! It’s difficult to think of a more inspiring, erudite, and generous composer/philosopher/performer in the music world than George, and we’d be happy listening to him read the phone book.
Lucky for you, Professor Lewis is swooping into the Floating Lounge with a playlist of tracks that light him up. And as anyone who has met George knows, we’re going to go ultra-deep on this music from sociological, historical, and musical perspectives.
Distractions and entertainment are effective coping mechanisms in quarantine, but sometimes you need that delicious brain food – that opportunity to engage the recesses of your brain and explode a whole new world of possibilities. It doesn’t matter what your level of familiarity with new music, creative music, or jazz may be…George is going to take you on a journey you’ll find yourself quoting for months to come.
